Hughes House

This mixed-use residential development in Liverpool delivers a substantial new addition to the city’s urban housing offer, providing 258 residential units alongside supporting amenities and ground floor commercial space. Commissioned by Equans Regeneration Ltd, the completed scheme contributes to the continued regeneration and residential growth within the city centre.

The development is arranged within a part 10-storey and part 9-storey building, carefully designed to maximise residential accommodation while integrating complementary facilities that support modern urban living.

The building’s stepped massing responds to the surrounding urban context, with the varied height creating a balanced skyline presence while maintaining an appropriate scale within the city environment. The architectural approach focuses on delivering a high-density residential scheme with clear internal organisation and efficient floor layouts.

The form and arrangement of the building allow for strong street presence at ground level while accommodating a significant residential population above.

At ground floor level, the development incorporates a retail unit (Use Class A1) with a total floorspace of approximately 408 sqm, contributing to street-level activity and providing services for residents and the surrounding community.

The residential element extends from the ground floor through to the eighth floor, creating a cohesive mixed-use environment that combines living, leisure, and commercial uses within a single development.

The scheme has been designed to support contemporary urban lifestyles, incorporating a range of communal facilities for residents. These include a shared workspace, gym, and post room, providing convenient amenities within the building and encouraging a sense of community among residents.

In addition, the development includes basement car parking, ensuring practical transport provision while maintaining active and accessible ground-level spaces.

A landscaped roof garden provides an important outdoor amenity space for residents, offering opportunities for relaxation and social interaction while contributing to the overall quality of the residential environment.

The completed development delivers high-quality urban housing alongside supporting facilities and commercial space, making a positive contribution to Liverpool’s evolving cityscape and supporting the continued regeneration of the surrounding area.
