At Andrew Wallace Architects, we specialise in bespoke new build contemporary houses. Inspired by locality and lifestyle, we look to develop every project with a fresh approach. This allows the house to react to the unique context of your site, whilst also responding to the way you live your life. 

About Our New Builds in Manchester

Whether you are looking to replace your existing property or build on a vacant plot, we will work with you to understand your aspirations and lifestyle. This allows us to develop a design tailored to you in a way that will surpass your expectations. Formal considerations of form, structure and materials are progressed in the context of thoughtful, site-specific design, together with the practical constraints of budget and brief.  

Design features such as:

• large open plan layouts for spacious modern living, 
• double height spaces for grand light filled volumes, 
• walls of glazing to create expansive connections between inside and out 

can elevate a house to thrilling levels, making it a joyous place to live.

New Build FAQs

Can you help me find out what I can build on a plot?

Yes. Before you buy or commit, we can look at the site, its planning history and the local planning policies, and tell you what is realistically achievable and where the risks are.

Can I build a new house in the green belt?

It is harder, but not impossible. Replacing an existing house is often possible if the new one is not materially larger, and there are other limited exceptions. Several of our new build houses are in the green belt, and we know how to make the case to the planners.

Do you design houses for developers as well as private clients?

Yes. We design one-off homes for private clients and housing schemes for developers and landowners. See our mixed-use and commercial architects pages for larger schemes.

Do you also design the interiors?

Yes. Our interior designers work alongside our architects, so the kitchen, joinery, lighting and finishes are designed together with the house.
