Valette Square, Salford

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hannan Associates were part of the team to design and deliver the recently completed Valette Square, developed by The English Cities Fund – a joint venture between Homes England, Legal & General and Muse Developments.

The development includes 33 townhouses with a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms with private gardens and terraces. It is situated just off Chapel Street, a short walk to Manchester City Centre, Spinningfields, New Bailey, Peel Park and the River Irwell.

Hannan Associates provided Building Services Engineering consultancy for the new homes, including early stage MEP concept design, utility connections & diversions advice, initial Part L1A calculations, renewable energy technologies feasibility review and site inspection duties.

The design of the townhouses’ façade and orientation optimises natural daylighting and reduces the requirement of artificial lighting. Other design features include smart utility metering, occupant controlled zoned heating system, low energy light fittings, improved insulation to minimize heat loss & reduce utility bills and Integrated Virgin Media and BT telecoms infrastructure.

Other members of the team included Buttress Architects, Integra Consulting, Chroma and main contractor John Turner Construction Group. 

This is the fourth phase of residential development in the Chapel Street area by the English Cities Fund, which forms part of the wider Salford Central masterplan.  Other schemes include Vimto Gardens, Timekeepers Square and Carpino Place .

The development is named after French Impressionist painter Pierre Adolphe Valette known for his acclaimed paintings of Manchester and Salford. He was a teacher at the Manchester Municipal School of Art and is remembered as L. S. Lowry’s tutor.

Three New Bailey, Salford Central

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Three New Bailey is a part of the English Cities Fund’s regeneration of Salford Central and will be the fourth new office building on the New Bailey site.

The seven storey, 157,000 sq ft building was pre-let to the Government Property Unit, who announced that HMRC would occupy the entire building as the sole tenant on a 25-year lease, for their new regional centre hub.

We have been appointed as Building Services Engineering consultants for the project and we are pleased to be working alongside Make Architects, Chroma Consulting, HED Landscape Architects and main contractor Bowmer & Kirkland.

The MEP services installations are designed to meet the occupier’s specific MEP services requirements and incorporate energy efficient installations, which will provide an excellent internal working environment and comfort conditions for the occupants. The building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.

We played a key role in liaising with the occupiers technical advisors in order to obtain their specific technical requirements for the MEP services installations which were agreed, costed and accommodated within the building design.

The building was handed over in February 2021.

The English Cities Fund is a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and Homes England.

Riverside House, New Bailey Salford

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hannan Associates are very pleased to be part of the team involved in the redevelopment of Riverside House at New Bailey, Salford for our client The English Cities Fund.

Riverside House is a four storey, 11,000 sq ft office building, which includes the retention of two sides of the 19th Century facade from the pre-existing building, thought to date back to around the mid 1800’s when it was the Royal Veteran Tavern located behind the site of the Old Bailey Prison.

As part of our duties we provided BREEAM 2014 assessment services and MEP Perfomance Duties for the CAT A installations which expanded to include the CAT B fit out for Muse Developments who are taking 2 floors of the building.

We carried out thermal modelling and system optioneering to conclude the best scheme to meet the Client requirements.

The MEP services strategy was based on chilled beams providing comfort cooling, which helps limit the maintenance requirements within the space and offers the tenants high comfort levels, good space acoustics & low annual running costs. Detailed co-ordination of the exposed services achieved a more visually appealing, quality finish, which helps meet higher end market requirements. The design also included roof mounted photovoltaic arrays, which provides the building with a source of renewable energy.

The retention of the Victorian Gothic style facade gives the building a real sense of place and history and helps to create a gateway to New Bailey. Utilising the floor void for ventilation helped to maintain floor levels which suited the existing façade.

The project won ‘Fit Out of Workplace’ at the 2020 BCO Awards and ‘Design in Excellence’ at the 2020 Insider Property North West Awards.

The Slate Yard, New Bailey, Salford

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Slate Yard is a Build to Rent Apartment scheme overlooking the River Irwell at New Bailey, Salford, which comprises three blocks of one, two and three bed apartments with communal facilities:

Plot A5 – A £13M, 10 storey apartment block incorporating 90 Apartments 

Plot A6 – A £17M, 16 storey apartment block incorporating 135 Apartments 

Plot A7 – A £30M, 21 storey apartment block incorporating 199 Apartments 

Hannan Associate’s role was to produce stage 3 developed design information for the building services engineering strategy and then monitor the design and workmanship on site.

The design of the building and the services strategy utilises energy efficient features throughout to minimise its carbon and environmental footprint and meet the sustainable standards set out in the Part L Building Regulations.

With the help of advanced building modelling we incorporated the most effective passive construction techniques in the design of the building, including:

  • Enhanced insulation to limit heat loss
  • An engineered façade design, which maximises the use of natural daylight & passive solar gains but minimises thermal losses and overheating
  • Reduced building air permeability, which minimises heat loss & the related energy usage and CO2 emissions.

The Incorporation of high efficiency systems and effective controls throughout the design helped to further minimise energy usage. These features include: smart heating controls, heat recovery ventilation systems, energy efficient lighting and energy efficient lifts.

PVs were integrated into the building design to meet a proportion of the electrical demand or to be fed back to the grid when demand is low.

New Bailey is part of The English Cities Fund’s £650 million regeneration scheme transforming the area of Salford Central.  The over 50-acre masterplan contains commercial, retail and residential buildings creating a new and vibrant destination for people to live, work and relax.

Final Phase of Slate Yard Reaches 21 Storeys
