Having commenced in May 2010, is due to complete December 2010, the development comprises of 6 mews style 3 storey dwellings for Wirral Methodist Housing Association. Formerly a vacant brownfield site in an existing residential area, the original buildings comprised of a former dwelling and a synagogue, which have long since been demolished.

The houses therefore fill a gap in a street of large Victorian Houses. We have made careful consideration of the existing houses and designed a modern contextual terrace, which, while respecting the street rhythm, introduces a 21st Century aesthetic. Therefore, while these houses are complimentary of the architecture of a previous generation, they shall meet today’s enviromental standards achieved using MMC and achieves the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3.

Bolton’s new council houses

Gareth — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:11:25 +0000

Paddock Johnson Partnership have designed the first council houses to be built in Bolton for 20 years. Planning approval was recently granted for the £2 million scheme, which will see 17 homes built on land at Hamilton Court, in Little Lever.
The project, which was given a £1 million grant by the government, will see work commencing in February.
The houses - 10 two-bedroom apartments, six semi-detached houses and one detached house – are expected to be ready for tenants in early 2011, and will be managed by Bolton at Home.
Great Places Housing Group is the development agent for the scheme and architects Paddock Johnson were appointed to carry out the design.
The homes have been designed to be energy efficient and will meet the government’s code for sustainable homes level 4. The scheme also contains leisure space and parking provision, with shared communal allotment spaces to the rear of the apartments.
Councillor Nick Peel, Bolton Council’s Executive Member for Housing, said: “These are the first homes we will be building and retaining ownership of in more than two decades. Like all local authorities, we have a real shortage of affordable housing and these houses will help provide much needed new housing for local people. The housing scheme has been designed with careful consideration to the surrounding areas, neighbourhoods and buildings.”
The homes form part of the council’s Transforming Estates programme, which aims to develop around 6,000 new homes of which 3,000 will be for sale and 3,000 for affordable rent over the next 12 years dependent on market conditions and securing planning approval.

The Travelodge is adjacent to a scheduled ancient monument and just off the A41 trunk road and incorporates a bespoke timber frame system clad in brickwork and rendered blockwork. The extensive paving installed at the Travelodge in Bromborough is one of the first major projects in the area to use Tobermore’s pioneering Hydropave permeable paving system which is designed to help control flooding problems. This unique solution was presented to Travelodge by project Architect Simon Halliwell.

Refurbishment of existing Terraced Housing, Burnley

Gareth — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:49:48 +0000

Renaissance in action

Our HMRI Masterplan for Burnley recommended selective clearance to form wide boulevards and parks, creating the opportunity for innovative housing design.

The principal intervention was the forming of new ends to the existing 18th century terraces. The design complements the existing terraces, whilst providing a wholly contemporary backdrop to the new green boulevards.

The terraces fronting the parks were extended vertically to form 3 bed town houses to provide the required mass and scale to enclose and define the parks.

A new build housing solution was also created, utilising MMC whilst maintaining a reference to the historical mill town aesthetic through the selective use of stone, timber and slate. In all, the project allowed for positive reflections of past tradition, within a wholly innovative and contemporary expression.
