Last week, we attended the project’s 'topping out' ceremony. This transformative development will create a new benchmark for living standards in the local area by replacing the existing outdated apartment building.
With a focus on creating a positive impact on the community, The Mannings will provide 74 new affordable homes, delivering a much-needed solution to the pressing issue of housing affordability. The development aims to offer residents an environment that truly understands their needs and a place they will be proud to call home.
Previously, the site housed a dated building with poor heating and ventilation, leaving the surrounding community dissatisfied with the standard of living.
Our design breathes new life into the area, capturing the essence of the surrounding conservation area and instils a sense of pride amongst the locals.

As part of the project, temporary re-housing arrangements were made for a number of former building residents, with many set to return to enhanced new living spaces.
We’re really excited that The Mannings has reached this significant project milestone. Engaging with the local communities allowed us to design not just a new building but ideal and desirable future homes for the community.”
