We have completed the 540 sq m ground floor amenity space for Novella, a new-build residential development on Stanley Street in Salford. The space faces out directly onto the River Irwell, and these views strongly influenced our design concept for the scheme.
Our brief was for the amenity design to target both young professionals and older empty nesters in a scheme that offered potential residents easy access to the city of Salford and its vibrant centre and amenities. The design needed to embody a high-end feel with a strong personality, and be aimed at tenants with an appreciation for design and quality, who were looking for peace, quiet and comfort in an environment that would also enhance their living experience and offer the possibility of social interaction.

Our design concept was influenced by the branches of the willow tree, and by the way the willow draws your eye down in a cascading movement, as well as by the scheme’s glazed views over the River Irwell, which had to be allowed to be the star attraction, through the creation of a calm and contemplative interior that complimented rather than competed with that view.
