Mather Mill, Wigan

Stacks Image 1158

We are currently working on a project involving the restoration and conversion of an old disused mill into a modern up to date residential complex.

The project will consist of a basement car park along with five levels of apartments and gym facilities. It will serve to regenerate the area creating a stylish living complex close to the town centre.

Marlsboro House, Manchester

Originally built in 1780, it stands as one of the oldest surviving mill buildings left in the city centre, later being redeveloped in 1823 following a fire and then again in 1956 where it saw more substantial alterations to the exterior appearance to include steel framed square windows and and a sharp concrete rendered finish. The site was initially construed as a cotton mill however this was relatively short lived and the site was later used as iron works factory. In the subsequent years, the building has further changed use to a garment manufacturing factory up until its last official use as music studios which played a pivotal role in the birth of Manchester’s cultural music scene.

The Green Lab following their acquisition of a ground floor and basement unit within a listed building in Manchester City Centre. Their vision was to transform the former clothing store and subsequent barber shop into a vibrant health food bar on the ground floor and a dance/yoga studio in the basement.

Bridge Street, Stockport

Our client owned several small shops in Stockport’s Underbank area, each with multiple floors of underused space. By reimagining the spaces between these buildings, we established a new access route to the apartments. This innovative approach preserved the original architectural features, such as roof trusses, resulting in spacious and well-proportioned living areas free from intrusive circulation routes.

The client now boasts a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments that are fully rented, successfully revitalizing this part of Stockport and transforming it into a vibrant residential area.
