    Currently in pre-planning between Salford City Council and architects HKR is this new tower proposal for developer, the Artisan Group.

    The developer ran a competition to erect a new design on the Brown Brothers Building that saw HKR Architects beat off finalists Glen Howells and Studio Egretwest.

    HKR secured the job with proposals that feature a slender rectangular 17 floor residential and hotel tower that we estimate will be about 52 metres in height with additional residential apartments in curving low-rise blocks.

    Overlooking Trinity Way, the tower features floor to ceiling glass with a green tint on one half creating a smooth block. Some depth is added to the facades thanks to the recessed balconies that some floors feature whilst colour is present in the form of an occasional panel of pastel red, green or blue.

    The other half of the building is more coloured orange with projecting balconies on the sides in a myriad of strong colours although the green tinted glazing continues where present.

    The lower-rise residential apartments will have green roofs on the top of them for their occupiers to enjoy accessed by spiraling staircases. Arranged on the site like a series of snakes wriggling around, they will be clad in pre-cast concrete panels that work as a sharp contrast to the glass sheen of the main building.

    Landscaped public areas are included between the buildings, opening the site up with ground floor retail set to provide animated uses for the buildings lowest levels. Also included in the plans is a secure child's play area.

    The scheme is now in consultation with amongst others, Salford City Council, to see how it can progress and be integrated into the Central Salford Masterplan.
