Aspley Heights, Huddersfield

Modern Residential Apartments

Aspley Heights is one of a number of projects with client G&W Developments, in which architecture 1B were commissioned to unlock the potential of this challenging sloping site in Huddersfield. The innovative design solution enabled the creation of 20 contemporary apartments, each with panoramic views of the valley and Huddersfield town centre beyond.

The concept for this scheme was that of an ‘inhabited ruin’, with staggered sad stepped forms following the hillside with random openings. Rising out of these walls, and filling the openings, are the new modern elements of glass and timber, with balconies protruding through the walls to add further depth and detail.
