So Google StreetView has launched. I wonder if there’ll be a surge to the confessional? Come on, I know you’ve been peaking in your neighbour’s windows…

It’s great to see some of our projects cropping up on there. The famous Urban Splash Loft Shop in Manchester looks good.

It’s also interesting to take a glimpse back in time at the Chips building during the early stages of construction – just the top layer of writing can be seen.

How far we’ve come – this is how she looks now!

Something old, something new

You might have guessed that we like restoring things. We like taking old, run-down buildings and turning them into new homes. Proper homes. And proper communities. We believe that a marriage between modern design and traditional architecture really works and now, it seems, so do other people!

Last week journalist Ciara Leeming wrote this fab piece about restoration in the Guardian. Some interesting points about how we can update old property to create new. Have a look at how we’ve done it here at Urban Splash.
