Projects Latest Company Contact Timekeepers Square Timekeepers Square is a development of 36 townhouses that forms part of the English Cities Fund’s (ECf) Salford Central regeneration scheme. Residential The development is located within the Adelphi/Bexley Square conservation area with the neo-classical Grade II* listed St Phillips Church, designed by the architect Sir Robert Smirke, at its centre. The area also encompasses a row of Georgian terraces, a Victorian courthouse, St John’s RC Cathedral, and the former Town Hall, all of which are Grade II listed. Play Video A primary urban design aim for the project was to reinstate the area’s historic street pattern, where this had been destroyed, and re-introduce a legibility to the streets that would strengthen the area’s centrepiece – St Phillips Church. The strategic plan for Timekeepers Square, therefore, has been to create clearly defined rows of terraces that relate in a sensitive and contemporary manner to neighbouring Georgian terraces, responding to them in height, massing, and rhythm. Two blocks of two and three bed terraced houses have been set out along the edges of a new pedestrian boulevard – St Phillip’s Walk – leading up to the church. The three bedroom houses have been designed to be three storeys and at an appropriate scale to the church. Moving away from the church however, the houses defer in scale in line with the changing site levels, helping define and frame the view towards St Philips to ensure that it remains the development’s focal point. A third block of four bed houses has been created adjacent to the church and recreates a side of the church square that had been lost. This block completes an existing row of Georgian townhouses and has been designed to be four storeys in height, responding in height to the scale of the church and of the Georgian houses.
