UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This single storey rear extension is almost done! This dynamic angled saw tooth roof with zinc cladding is finally taking shape. All that’s left is the interior decorating, the decking and some finishing touches. We can’t wait to share the final results with you!
HOME LIFE
We at AU want to lend a hand and use our design expertise to directly enable homeless people to be involved in the design and construction of bespoke homes as part of a unique Housing First strategy. Through the concept of self-build homes, we want to offer opportunities for skill advancement, construction site training, etc.
MOVING TO TENDER
A family home that is spacious and open, creating a haven that looks out into the glen at the every floor in the house. We have started the tender process and are anticipating to start the Entertainment Shed on site this summer!
UPCOMING- THE WHITE HOUSE
An attic conversion that accommodates two bedrooms and one bathroom whilst the other end is a open landing, balcony, play room and office. The proposal also includes an internal energy upgrade to the existing envelope of the house.
THE MAYFIELD IMAGINARIUM: A REFLECTION
Looking at today’s scheme that is undergoing, it is interesting to AU that there are so many similarities in approach to the function of the space. Prioritising the arts, start-ups and local production alongside the rejuvenation of the public park, all of which adds to a public realm that Manchester has long yearned for. It may have taken another decade or so to get there but hey, looks well good to us!
