The Church has previously suffered severe fire damage to its structure and aesthetic features. The new proposal has been designed to create a new building identity which flows between the modern aesthetic of the luxury apartments and the traditional features of the original church. A flux of material choices, traditional stone features and structural elements create an emergence of beautiful traditional masonry and progressive spatial design.

The scheme offers a diverse range of studios, one and two bed apartments targeting a wide market, including single individuals and families. It is the first phase of a larger mix use development consisting of over 700 apartments, commercial and retail space and it is expected to start on site this summer.

This is the first of our 6 six events to take place this year to celebrate Brewster Bye Architects 20^th anniversary. We are aiming to raise £10,000 during 2012 for Leeds Community Foundation and St George’s Crypt.

Derelict for years, West Grange Road Social Club fell into disrepair becoming problematic for the site’s owners, Leeds City Council (LCC). This is where local housing-provider LFHA stepped in to acquire the site for redevelopment and reverse its fortunes. Brewster Bye Architects and LFHA worked closely with LCC’s Housing development office, local Ward Members and residents to draw up a scheme of 16 houses, varying from 2-bed bungalows to 4-bed family housing. West Grange Road is one of LFHA’s largest schemes in the area to date and answers an acute need for family-housing in the area.

Built in the 1930’s, much of Belle Isle was conceived in the model of the early 20^th century  Garden Cities such as Letchworth and Welwyn. The scheme design continues this long tradition of well-built brick-built housing that is robust yet characterful and employs the bricklayer’s skills to the full. The scheme is designed to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3, Lifetime Homes and Secured By Design standards ensuring environmental and social sustainability now and into the future. The development is currently out to tender and is due for completion in December 2012.
