Timekeepers Square shortlisted for British Homes Award

Timekeepers Square shortlisted for British Homes Award

Award winning residential project Timekeepers Square is once again in the spotlight as it is nominated for The Sunday Times British Home Awards ‘Development of the Year’ (under 200 homes)

The scheme was developed by English Cities fund (ECF) – a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and the Homes & Communities Agency working in conjunction with Salford City Council.

Timekeepers square previously won ‘Best Built Residential Scheme’ (multi unit) and was runner up in ‘Best Overall Scheme’ at the 2017 Manchester Architects Awards.

All 36 homes at the development are now completed and occupied after keys to the final property were handed over to its new owners.

Hannan Associates provided MEP performance duties for the scheme which forms part of ECF’s Salford Central regeneration scheme around Chapel Street.

The British Homes Awards, run by Haymarket Media Group celebrate the quality of the homes and communities being created in the UK, showcasing the best in design to key players in the property market and central and local government.

The winners will be announced on 21 September during an awards ceremony at the Grosvenor Square Hotel, London.

Things are racing ahead at Newbury

Progress at our Newbury Racecourse project is well on the way, with the new pre parade ring and saddling stalls nearing completion.

As MEP consultants for the development we are providing sustainability, renewable energy, utilities engineering, and MEP services for various stages of the project. So far completed works include the refurbished stables block, a 36 bed hotel called ‘The Lodge’, a children’s nursery, external landscaping and car parking facilities.

Newbury Racecourse

As you can see from the photos the new look is coming along nicely at this historic landmark, and with a new east entrance building due to be finished in July, and a new owners and trainers facility set to follow in September, look out for more progress photos from the site in the near future!

Green Light for Rochdale Riverside

Green Light for Rochdale Riverside

Rochdale Borough Council have approved plans for a new £70 million, shopping and leisure development that will drastically change its town centre. The project is being delivered jointly by Genr8 Developments and Kajima, in partnership with the council.

Reel Cinema, Next and M&S have already signed up for the scheme, with phase one set to deliver around 24 shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, across an excess of 200,000 square feet.

Our duties include MEP design consultancy services for the base build shell and core elements and landlords areas, Including thermal modelling and Part L analysis for each of the buildings.  Hannan Associates have worked closely with other members of the design team to develop innovative, landmark buildings, with effective and efficient building services solutions to meet the needs for each particular building.

Due to the nature of the development and location of the site, our role has also involved extensive dialogue and negotiations with all utility providers in the area, to deal with the extensive major utility diversions that will be necessary on and around the site, as well as dealing with the new supply connection requirements.

Rochdale Riverside is the latest edition to our list of town and city centre regeneration schemes that include Salford, Chester, Stoke, Wakefield, Blackpool, Dorchester, Doncaster and Stockport.

Bringing historic buildings back to life at Kampus

Bringing historic buildings back to life at Kampus

The second phase of the £250M regeneration Kampus project has begun, with planning permission having been submitted for two derelict 19th century former warehouse buildings.

Minto & Turner and Minshull House, listed for their historical interest, are thought to have the only remaining untouched cobble street in Manchester running between them. Little David street will once again be open to the public after years of restricted access once the project is complete.

Many of the original features of the buildings have survived intact, and joint developers The English Cities Fund and Henry Boot are looking to follow a sensitive restoration plan to preserve as much of them as possible. The two warehouses will provide 59 characterful loft apartments along with circa 14,000 sq ft commercial space. As a fusion of old and new this important part of the Kampus masterplan will be a place to meet, socialise and enjoy the best independent bars and restaurants Manchester has to offer.

Hannan Associates played a key role in the design team from conception to Stage 3. Our design input included the thermal modelling needed to define the performance and specification of the envelope and the development of the energy and sustainability strategies to support the planning submission. In addition to the MEP design associated with the apartments our work included the development of flexible fit out options for the retail and restaurant units in the development.

Cooling down in the Caribbean

Cooling down in the Caribbean

We have been appointed to provide design advice and support in the specification of external cooling for the Camana Bay mixed use development in the Cayman Islands.

Envisioned over 20 years ago by Ken Dart to be the most livable and workable community in the Caribbean, Camana Bay is a 600-achre town that spans from sea to sea. Embodying the New Urban philosophy of live, work and play the site consists of thoughtfully designed commercial, residential, educational and recreational facilities.

 

 

Our work on the new development involves the consideration and development of trials for cooling system options to improve the comfort of tourists and locals using the external environment with a combination of shading and mechanical options.
