This project was initiated by Wood Associates who were involved in bringing the potential of the site to a local housebuilder. Forty flats were achieved on this site on Preston’s Winckley Square in a mixture of refurbishment and new build. Careful use of proportions, scale and materials led to the building being used by the Local Authority as an example of outstanding urban design.

The project was nominated for a Civic Trust Award. All flats were sold before completion and a second phase of nine further flats was equally successful on a neighbouring site.
