This old house in the centre of Altrincham was converted into offices.

We were called in to change the front which was just tarmac into a frontage that had kerb appeal but not too much of a commercial look to it.

Various planning restrictions meant that we had to use red sandstone for the wall.

We used two different kinds, a smooth sawn sandstone which gives a sharp modern look, and a rougher pitch faced stone block, more in keeping with other town centre developments.

A buff paving was used to cover the floor along with tobermore tegula cobbles, picking up on the buff colour of the building.

Box hedging of 3 large Bay trees were planted along with 2 black containers to sit either side of the main entrance.

Wrough Iron Railings were added to the wall & handrail, up to the entrance door to complete the project.
