Alteration to existing property, Within a Conservation Area
31 Blackfriars Road , SALFORD , Greater Manchester , M3 7AQ , United Kingdom
In 2017 the building was in need of updating and the opportunity to resolve long standing issues with the existing design was embraced. This led to a series of bold interventions that maximise internal floor area and include an updated building entrance and a large and light filled extension to the building’s top floor. Crucial to securing the building’s future was improving the entrance sequence and visitor experience. A large, welcoming space was created which fuses high quality, robust materials with striking design completely transforming perceptions of the building.
