Press Release Summary: Almura Building Products and Richardson Projects have teamed up to create a stunning £6 million residential village in Maccelsfield; the first UK development of its type in terms of scale and design. The building blends seamlessly with its surroundings thanks to pre-coloured, timber composite weatherboarding used on the project.
Press Release Body: Ninety residents are housed in the 1.3 acre state-of-the-art three-story development split into three wings. One wing has six self-contained flats and the other two wings have six units of ten to twelve bedrooms. The care home has its own beauty salon, restaurant, shop and cinema, all housed under one giant roof. This replaced ‘The Larches’ care home, an outdated building in need of renovation.
Phil Marsh, Sales Director at Almura understands what the architect was trying to achieve in his design: “The new building is situated on a residential site opposite a row of detached houses, so it was very important that the building portrays itself on the street as a number of separate smaller buildings. This is why our pre-coloured composite weather boarding was the most appropriate cladding to use on this project.” The weather boarding has achieved its objective of presenting the care home as separate residential properties, in-keeping with surrounding buildings.
Mat Ward, Chief Buyer at Richardson Projects explains why he chose to use Almura’s weatherboarding product, “On this particular project we decided to use this specific type of pre-coloured timber weatherboarding because it allowed us to choose from a variety of colours. It’s also competitively priced, maintenance-free simple to install and arrives on site already cut to size, saving us a huge amount of time. Almura were always on-hand to advise on any technicalities regarding the material and installation.”
