Design in Details
Barrington Close, Altrincham is a compact infill development; four contemporary family homes shaped for high demand urban living in a well-connected location. Muse Architects led the design from early feasibility; testing massing, privacy, daylight, access, and parking; enabling the proposal to progress through planning with a clear, evidence led narrative and a buildable route to site.
The architecture uses a repeated gabled form to create identity and rhythm; breaking down perceived scale; and responding to local rooflines. Deep recessed balconies and tall openings bring daylight into primary rooms, while helping to limit overlooking and protect neighbour amenity. A robust palette supports long term value; brick for permanence at street level; warm vertical cladding to frame entrances and upper levels; and straightforward detailing intended to reduce construction complexity.
Each home is planned for real family life; five bedrooms; flexible spaces for home working; and efficient circulation to reduce wasted area. Private front and rear gardens are integrated with boundary planting, supporting privacy, seasonal shading, and a calmer street scene. Two dedicated parking spaces per home are included; with provision for electric vehicle charging readiness; subject to final specification, approvals, and network capacity.
