Waulk Mill has been shortlisted for the #NorthernDesignAwards in the Conversion, Redesign, Repurpose category. We’ve transformed the former Victorian mill into a space filled with contemporary offices while retaining plenty of its original features. We’ve continually invested in the building, most recently working alongside Manchester-based architect Maurice Shapero to add more variation and colour into the building two decades after its initial refurbishment. Congratulations to all others shortlisted, we look forward to celebrating in November. See the full list of finalists: https://lnkd.in/eBrVMeaG.
About us
Hello. We're Urban Splash. We were established in 1993 by the forward thinking, pioneering duo of Tom Bloxham MBE and Jonathan Falkingham MBE. With no business plan and big ideas to change disused and unloved buildings and sites around the country, Tom and Jonathan were told "it will never work"... That comment drove them to succeed and now, over 25 years later, we've got a great business and have notched up over 400 awards for our work in regeneration, architecture, design, place-making, marketing and business; we've built more than 5000 homes and 1.5m sq ft of workspaces - and a lot of great communities too. The best thing about Urban Splash..? Our people. 170 brilliant, passionate and driven individuals - each determined to keep bringing our developments to life. Our colleagues work out of our head office at Timber Wharf in Manchester, our live sites like Park Hill in Sheffield, Avro in Manchester, Port Loop in Birmingham and Lakeshore in Bristol, and in our very own modular House factory - yep, an actual factory in which we efficiently make brilliantly-designed Urban Splash Houses which are then delivered to sites for our lovely customers. We're 25 years into a brilliant, bold journey and we've still got lots more great work to do. Watch this space as we continue to tell our story...

Waulk Mill is now home to a show-stopping light installation, designed by BEN ROUSSEAU. The piece came about after we asked Zoë Allen at Artistic Statements to run an invited design competition - with the brief to find a design and artist that will use lighting to draw visitors attention to the height within Waulk Mill in Manchester. The resulting creation spans 2.5m in width and drops 15m in length and is visible from various points inside and outside of the building. Read more from Ben on how he came up with the concept for Waulk Mill, and why creating art through light is his preferred medium: https://lnkd.in/efkHfeVd.
