Church Street, Bury
This sensitive development of 16 apartments for shared ownership in Bury is located adjacent to a conservation area and required extensive local consultation to win community support.
Blue Sky Design Services, Equity Solutions’ full architectural, environmental, engineering and healthcare consultancy, provided pre and post contract architect services on a £800,000 contract with the Irwell Valley Housing Association.
A purlin roof enabled the roof spaces to be used as bed decks and home offices, overlooking double height living spaces.
The scheme embodies low environmental impact materials, high insulation levels and simple water saving measures, combined with passive solar principles and cross wall construction using masonry to achieve good thermal mass.
