Royal Clarence - Exeter’s most iconic landmark

Step inside the remarkable history and future of Exeter’s most iconic landmark. NooKo is bringing the Royal Clarence back to life. We’re reimagining this Grade II-listed treasure for future generations by combining its rich heritage with sustainable, modern design.
Dating back to 1769, the Royal Clarence has witnessed centuries of history, from introducing gas lighting to Exeter’s streets to hosting one of the country’s first hotels. After a devastating fire in 2016, the building was left as a shell, but the spirit of the Royal Clarence remains unbroken.
With NooKo’s vision, this beloved landmark will once again become a vibrant hub for Exeter, featuring thoughtfully designed apartments and dynamic commercial spaces.

- Vibrant Spaces: New commercial spaces will enhance Cathedral Green, contributing to Exeter’s thriving city centre.

Sustainability and Community Impact
At NooKo, sustainability is at the heart of every project. The Royal Clarence restoration prioritises environmental responsibility and community collaboration. Key initiatives include:
- Energy Efficiency: Upgraded insulation and renewable energy solutions inspired by Paternoster House, including potential solar panel integration.
- Local Collaboration: Partnering with Exeter-based tradespeople and suppliers to keep resources within the community.
- Material Reuse: Salvaging and repurposing materials wherever possible to reduce waste and honour the building’s history.
This redevelopment not only restores a cherished landmark but also contributes to Exeter’s local economy and global sustainability efforts.
