66 Baring Street, Mayfield, Manchester Located in a hidden district of Manchester’s city centre, the residential project aims to create a sustainable cyclical community tucked within an overlooked industrial landscape. The brief was to create a workspace alongside living space that was directly connected, yet distinctly separated. 66 Baring Street draws upon historic housing typologies and digests and modernises previously unsuccessful elements to create a commercial hub which sits beneath a thriving sub-community; cultured by a cyclical residential scheme. The concept of a cyclical community originates from the age-old tradition of growing up and living one’s adult life in the same place, and being connected and identified by one’s ‘Hometown’. The mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom town-houses as well as accessible bungalows, and the designing of adaptable and flexible internal living spaces via swinging walls and recessing furniture creates a ‘suburb’ which is not only ecologically sustainable but also future-proofed for further generations.
