Application submitted for one of the most sustainable buildings in Birmingham

On behalf of Urban Vision, Williams Gallagher have today submitted an application for a very forward looking scheme which seeks to meet the wide aspirations of the Birmingham Design Guide.

The plans will deliver 294 new homes across a 33-storey building. If approved, the building will be one of the most sustainable in Birmingham, designed to be a ‘smart’ building that is both-all electric and uses innovative technology to help drive efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint and occupational costs of its users.

The proposals include a wide range of communal amenities, such as co-working spaces and communal lounges, rooftop gardens, as well as opportunities for independent shops, cafés, or restaurants at street level.

The building, which has been designed by Howells, uses a unique asymmetrical shape to add value to the city’s skyline whilst providing most apartments with dual aspect views across the city. It takes inspiration from Birmingham’s concrete heritage and iconic urban landscape.
