We were commissioned in 1998 to complete Phase ll of this award winning and highly environmentally conscious mixed-use development just outside of Manchester city centre. Shortlisted for the RIBA national housing awards in 2001.
The design for the twenty-five unit residential
building was developed through a series of workshops which were attended by the end user group. All elements of design were discussed from the conceptual stage to the interior specifics of kitchen and bathroom fit
The £2.5 million complex arrangement of buildings are a highly sculptural mix of forms, colours, materials and textures which create an individual and stunning piece of architecture. The palette of materials so successful on Phase 1 is reflected again: western red cedar, zinc, render and buff brickwork.230.
