From derelict tennis club to private road.
The site had been a tennis club. As membership dwindled over the years it fell disused and derelict — an overgrown gap in one of Manchester's most characterful suburbs, within sight of the English Martyrs spire.
Our clients bought the land wanting homes that were high quality, unique and right for their context. The answer was Lawn Drive: four homes in buff brick with deep-set windows and crisp gables, arranged along a new private road.

What we do
Build it. Fund it. Look after it.
Most firms do one of these. Doing all three means the person pricing your build is the same person who'll fix the boiler in ten years — so we build like it.
