Former Boddington’s Brewery Site Phase Two
Upgraded living, designed for a sustainable future
Overview
Located within Manchester city centre, this scheme will provide 461 homes and a new central landscaped public courtyard, that contributes to the wider regeneration of the Great Ducie Street area.
The homes will be spread across two buildings ranging from 11 to 27 storeys, with residents receiving prime views from private, south-facing terraced spaces at rooftop level.
With sustainability at the forefront of the design, the scheme achieves compatibility with operation net zero carbon. It will also offer high-quality amenities such as commercial spaces, a concierge, a resident lounge and co-working spaces, alongside a strong landscaped courtyard that helps connect to the local proximity of the Manchester city centre.
Architecturally, the building material palette and façade design takes inspiration from the local vernacular and with two different mortar colours to distinguish the lower floors and the upper floors. The cohesive elevational treatment aims to merge a sense of identity between the two buildings – and show no visible distinctions in material palette, composition or detailing. Key principles in the courtyard landscape design opens and connects the precinct to surrounding streets and facilitates movement throughout the site for community engagement.
