Eric Wright Construction appointed Inscape based on our established working relationship and proven track record of delivering robust, bespoke washroom solutions.
This project follows our successful collaboration on the Ancoats Dispensary redevelopment, a 39-apartment residential scheme completed before this project.
We also worked closely with OMI Architects throughout the development process. Following the initial design intent, we prepared and issued preliminary drawings and proposed several setting-out adjustments to better coordinate with the specified sanitaryware and improve overall functionality.
These refinements were adopted into the final design, ensuring optimal installation, improved usability, and ease of maintenance.
The scheme aligns with the wider social value objectives of Great Places Housing Group, focusing on delivering high-quality affordable homes, supporting sustainable urban regeneration, and enhancing community infrastructure within central Manchester.
We manufactured and installed:
- High-Pressure Laminate Combination Vanity Units
Purpose-made to exact project requirements, ensuring precise fit and seamless integration within the apartment layouts.
The units were selected as a tried and tested solution, previously used successfully by Eric Wright on similar projects.
To achieve durability and longevity, we specified high-quality materials and components, including:
- Fundermax Truffle Cottage Oak High Pressure Laminate (dark woodgrain finish)
- 18mm Moisture Resistant MDF construction
- Impact Resistant PVC edging
- KEKU Suspension Clips for secret-fixed access panels
The selected Fundermax laminate finish was chosen to complement the modern interior design aesthetic, while also offering a highly durable, easy-to-maintain surface.
