Albert St Eccles, Salford

Architectural Emporium recently submitted a planning application for 124 new build homes in Eccles, Salford for CERT. The scheme comprises an angled perimeter block with a courtyard garden. It features two three bedroom townhouses, eleven two bedroom duplexes and a mix of one and two bedroom apartments on the upper floors. Relief is added to the facade through considered brick detailing and inset reconstituted stone panels. A simple palette of materials is used with buff brickwork and sage green metalwork across the majority of the elevation. The site forms a gateway into Eccles from primary routes and verticality is provided to the corner with a change in material. Here a red brick frame references adjacent buildings and offset projecting balconies animate the facade.  Imagery by Infinite 3d.
