Nestled within the Chorlton Conservation Area, Gable House emerges as a sensitive architectural proposal, seamlessly blending contemporary design with its historical context. This new-build family home pays homage to the surrounding Victorian streetscape, drawing inspiration from the prevalent gabled roof forms and the warm, red brick palette that characterizes the area. While presenting a traditional facade to the street, Gable House cleverly integrates modern elements, ensuring a harmonious coexistence with its established neighbors. The design incorporates expansive windows and strategically placed openings, flooding the interior with natural light and establishing a visual connection with the surrounding landscape. Through its thoughtful design and respect for the conservation area, Gable House exemplifies how contemporary architecture can enrich and enhance a historic setting, providing a comfortable and sustainable family home.

Taking advantage of its spacious, prominent south facing corner plot, the house is positioned to allow the garden to be bathed in sunlight. The landscaping provides for areas of luscious planting, a secluded fire pit and an external kitchen and dining space.  Trees and hedges are positioned both offer a sense of seclusion and make a positive contribution to the area.

The house is organised over three storeys and around a triple height entrance hall. The ground floor is occupied by a snug and a large open plan kitchen and dining room that wraps around the garden within a lower single storey mass which links to a detached guest annex. This allows for the ceiling of the open plan family space to be punctuated with skylights and allow the space to be flooded with natural light. Off the kitchen, a conversation pit is sunken into the floor to offer a space for entertainment. Sitting at this lowered level brings the eye level down to the garden and offers a unique perspective through the columnade of the external spaces. Three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom are found on the first floor with the pricipal suite and study contained within the roof space. Windows in the upper levels have been positioned to frame views of the three surrounding church spires which revel themselves amongst the trees canopies.
