At ground level, a dramatic triple-height, arched colonnade—a subtle nod to the architectural language of the listed viaducts and industrial heritage—provides a pedestrian route along Whitworth Street West. Newly landscaped public spaces will also enhance the streetscape and increase local biodiversity. “By opening up the site, we are creating vibrant public spaces and pathways that enhance connections across this part of the city. The building’s terracotta, high-performance façade references both the existing and historic context while introducing a distinctly modern addition to the evolving skyline of Manchester.” – Tony O'Brien, Sheppard Robson Partner.

A Big Win for a Challenging Project – Securing Listed Building Consent at Locksbrook Cemetery Lodge We’re delighted to share that we successfully designed and secured planning and listed building consent yesterday for a loft conversion at Locksbrook Cemetery Lodge, a Grade II listed building in Bath. This was no ordinary project—working within such a sensitive heritage setting required a multidisciplinary approach. Through innovative engineering solutions, architectural history expertise, and clever design, we demonstrated that the proposal would have minimal impact on the building’s historic fabric while unlocking its potential. Accurate surveys were crucial in understanding the constraints and opportunities, allowing us to craft a sympathetic yet practical solution. The result? A carefully considered design that respects the heritage significance of the lodge while meeting modern needs. This achievement is a testament to the power of collaboration and creative problem-solving in heritage projects. A big win for a challenging site—on to the next! #HeritageArchitecture #ListedBuildingConsent #EngineeringSolutions #LoftConversion #PlanningSuccess

With an estimated 370,000 listed buildings across the country, England’s rich architectural heritage offers a unique blend of historic buildings. For property developers, these buildings present both a challenge and an opportunity. To ensure their future use, retrofitting is often required. Retrofitting historic buildings is not just about preserving character but also about enhancing their functionality to meet modern efficiency standards. However, retrofitting within the historic environment comes with its own considerations where bespoke solutions are often required to balance preservation and modernisation. We take a look at what is allowed, and the latest advice and guidance.

Today the decision to knock down some of London's architectural heritage is really at odd's with Starmer's concurrent speech where he aims to "bring back the golden age of building". It's clear that the sustainably-responsible reuse of our exisiting buildings and their fabric plays no part in his vision. Ultimately it comes back to money - it's critical that the 20% VAT on refurbishment projects is lifted to make retro fit a commercially viable option. Without this change, our natural environment and our built environment both suffer. #artdeco #buildingpolicy #planning #vat #heritage #conservationengineering #sustainabledesign #retrofit #refurbishment #architecture

Why is façade access important? 📣 🌇 Mohamed Merchant, Director – Façade Access, has written a blog post about why building façades are not just about aesthetics. These are high-performance elements requiring practical, economical, and effective maintenance. Façade access is a crucial aspect of your building’s upkeep if you want to ensure it remains safe and in top condition. With façade access strategy being such a highly specialised field with limited global expertise within the construction industry, it’s important that you work with experts who fully understand the importance of façade access and are dedicated to providing first-class solutions.
