Conran & Partners, Terence Conran's architecture and design practices, have completed English tallest timber-clad tower, in Salford. 19-floor building that stands opposite Lowry Center, and next to the proposed site of the new BBC building in Salford Quays.
Link to the main tower of the nine-storey building, and the second element of the scheme are dressed in a combination of almond-veneer paneling by suppliers Prodema Spain, and full-height glazing.
External Cladding is a high-density panel of resin-bonded cellulose fibers - also known as Bakelite - faced with natural wood veneer. "He has a warm, tactile finish, and natural variations in the wood to help scale the building," said Tim Bowder-Ridger, associate director at Conran & Partners. "One challenge has been to get the right wind loadings. In the end we used improved materials, jewelry, which is done well, even during a heavy storm earlier this year."
Development provides a variety of one-and two-bedroom apartments, many with views over the water. Six-floor apartment, which Rooftop very good, while the other has a flat internal Juliet balcony. Flat with the front-aspect Projecting have balconies made of steel and glass. Conran's scheme is the fifth project in Manchester.
