We were commissioned to explore the feasibility of developing a long-overlooked yet prominent site in Manchester City Centre. The plot occupies the truncated end of a Victorian terrace, left incomplete by redevelopment in the 1960s. Our proposal seeks to restore a sense of continuity and completion to the street, crafting a contemporary bookend that acknowledges the historic rhythm of the terrace while introducing a bold, confident presence.

The proposals comprise 6 no city-centre apartments arranged over two storeys with basement parking. The site was formerly used as a workshop for light industry and is currently vacant. The site is an infill with an irregular shape derived from the fact that it was simply a piece of land to the rear of the surrounding terraced housing.

Paul Ashton + HBMA have secured planning permission at committee for the redevelopment of a former Carmelite Monastery in Liverpool. The site is to become a new respite centre and hospice for the regional children’s charity Claire House.
