Knott Mill Townhouses

Contributing human scale to the local vernacular

Located on the edge of Castlefield, the Knott Mill area is an inland island surrounded by a bow in the River Medlock and the canal, giving it the feel of enclosure within the vertical context

The proposal consists of 8 x four storey townhouses, each with a roof garden with views across Castlefield and Manchesters new skyline.

The scheme is designed to create high-quality family homes that respond to the scale and character of the surrounding neighbourhood.

The design takes inspiration from Knott Mill's industrial identity through the use of brick, simple forms and metal detailing, contributing a human scale to the local high rise vernacular.
