A 13 storey apartment scheme on the banks of the River Irwell in Salford.

This elegant brick building provides 130 one and two bedroom apartments, many with dual aspect views, a riverside terrace overlooking the water, landscaped gardens for residents, a gym and cinema. The main access to the scheme will be from Derwent Street, which links Ordsall Lane to the river. The site sits within the Ordsall River Masterplan, creating strong links with Manchester City Centre and Salford with the proposals improving the existing river path walk.

The parallelogram plan form responds to its context of Derwent Street, the riverside walk and the neighbouring buildings, whilst the materials and its façade reference the mill buildings that once occupied the site. Cycling will be encouraged with a large, secure store at ground floor level giving direct internal access to the dual aspect reception which links through to a colonnaded terrace allowing residents to benefit from the riverside location.
