Buttress has become one of 130 practices backing the Architect's Action for Affordable Housing campaign.
The Architects' Journal endorsed campaign urges the new Labour government to back a 20-year housing plan that provides a fair and equitable supply of homes where they are most needed, underpinned by five key principles to supercharge the rate at which 1.5m new homes are built.
The proposed priorities include:
- Prioritising affordable housing to deliver growth
- Linking net zero and affordable housing policies
- Building a resilient, fair and sustainable industry
- Creating equity in housing supply
- Empowering a self-build and community housing drive
We are committed to working with clients to deliver high-quality, affordable housing that offers contemporary, sustainable and attractive housing for all. Our current portfolio of affordable housing includes:
- Ordsall - a development of 274 residences delivered at a minimum of a 40% affordable housing rate
- Collyhurst Village and Collyhurst South - 274 new homes including 130 high-quality social rented homes
- Greenhaus - a Passivhaus approved development of 96 affordable apartments
- Didsbury Point - a new apartment development of 76 affordable units
- Ancoats Dispensary - restoration of a Grade II listed former hospital into 39 apartments, all available for affordable rent.
