Bespoke Doors - Facilitating Regeneration

Author: Luke Gilrane

A brand new, high-specification apartment block in Manchester has been supplied with a range of customised doorsets by Bespoke Complete Solutions. Nuovo Apartments, located in Ancoats, forms part of a large regeneration scheme in the area and, when fully completed, will boast 166 new residences, of which 40 will be dedicated Affordable Homes. The ground floor of the building will be used for commercial development.

Ancoats takes its name from the Old English ana cots, meaning ‘lonely cottages’. Located just outside the city centre, Ancoats suffered economic decline for many years until its heritage became more widely recognised and the area began to see a sharp rise in investment. Now a desirable place to live and work, Ancoats continues to grow in importance with the development of Nuovo Apartments, which comprises a 13-storey tower accompanied by two smaller blocks.

The main contractor on the Nuovo Apartments project is Sir Robert McAlpine, a leading civil engineering company in the UK with over 140 years of experience. With a diverse and impressive project portfolio, ranging from the Olympic Stadium to the Eden Project, Sir Robert McAlpine insist on materials of impeccable, superlative quality in their work in order to maintain their unmatched reputation.

Sir Robert McAlpine chose Bespoke Comple Services to provide all of the external entrance doors and frames, manufactured in solid Iroko to specific requirements, based on our own impressive reputation for supplying quality products manufactured with close attention to detail, a critical factor on such an important and complex project.
