We are delighted to announce that our scheme with Great Places on Jubilee Street in Langworthy, providing 32no. new 3 and 4 bedroom homes, is nearing completion.
Southdale Construction have already handed over the first 9 houses and residents have recently moved in. The remaining 23 houses are scheduled for phased completion over the course of October.
Seen from above (photo taken from scaffolding recently erected around the adjacent Emmanuel Development which we are also involved with), the development adds another distinctive roofscape to the local area, with Chimney Pot Park in the foreground, the Emmanuel Centre and the traditional terraced properties beyond
The street design is a modern interpretation of the traditional terraced, back of pavement housing, which is typical of the area. We have incorporated secured 'drive under' parking within the streetscape in line with SBD requirements, and which will help to alleviate on street parking.
In conjunction with our
client – Weaver Vale Housing Trust – we ran a competition at Willow Park School
in Winsford. Mark spent a morning in the
classroom talking to the children about houses now and in Victorian times
(designed to fit in with their current school project). He then left them alone to design their own
ideal home going back later to judge the work and present some prizes.Judging was a difficult task because the designs the
children produced were incredibly creative. Gill Fozard and Kenton Barker from
WVHT helped make the final decision, as did Jeanette Bate from Profile
Communication. The lucky winners – Cadey
Lea and Joel - received Lego construction packs and we presented the school
library with a couple of books on architecture for all the children to enjoy.
Voting Closes 11th April 2014. We will keep you
updated.
