A disused industrial site in Salford is the location for a proposed residential development by Freshstart Housing. The concept involves refurbishment of shipping containers to provide 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. The containers are to be fitted out off-site and lifted into a steel framework. The whole structure will then be faced in brick and timber cladding. The model has been constructed to expose, on the courtyard side, the end of each container in order to demonstrate construction methods. As will be seen, the building will be finished with stepped, green roofs.
Opposite is St.Thomas's Church finished in white and modelled in limited detail. Across the railway line is the former Pendleton Co-op, a listed building now converted to apartments.
