Millwrights Place and Coopers Court is a £63m residential development in the new Finzels Reach neighbourhood of Bristol. This 297-apartment development completed in March 2024, ready to become a new community for people to live and work in.
Three Winning Facts:
- The project represents a step-change in the way residential developments are created. Far from simply being a place to live, the development has been designed with modern life in mind. Shared spaces exist for residents and their guests to socialise, exercise or take yoga classes. Multiple outdoor terraces bring the outside in and contribute to a better quality of life, and contemporary coworking spaces on the ground floor enable people to both work and play in this fashionable new part of town.
- The project was chosen to represent the ‘gold standard’ of response to the Building Safety Act, with the Building Safety Regulator using the site to inform what they’re looking for on inspections and what good looks like for residential new builds in a post-Grenfell world.
- Delivering repeated elements at a huge scale enabled opportunities to demonstrate matrix planning, optimised sequencing and MMC options such as prefabricated balconies – optimising the efficiency and productivity on site as well as maximising quality and minimising defects.
