Price Street, Birmingham

Price Street is a residential redevelopment scheme delivering 85 contemporary apartments within Birmingham’s historic Gun Quarter. The project forms part of a wider mixed-use regeneration, combining the restoration of the locally listed Gunsmith House with new-build elements across three linked blocks.

The development carefully balances heritage and modern living, retaining and enhancing the character of the existing building while introducing high-quality residential accommodation that contributes to the ongoing renewal of the city centre.

The scheme required the retention and retrofit of Gunsmith House, a locally listed building, necessitating a sensitive approach to structural intervention to preserve its character.

In addition, the development combined demolition and new-build construction within a constrained urban site, requiring careful coordination between retained and new structures.

Farrow Walsh developed a structural strategy to support the retrofit of Gunsmith House, ensuring its stability while accommodating its integration into the wider development.

Selected areas of the site were demolished to enable the construction of a new seven-storey light gauge steel frame (LGSF) structure, forming part of three linked residential blocks. Through coordinated design and a balanced approach to heritage and new-build construction, Farrow Walsh enabled the successful delivery of a contemporary residential scheme within a historic setting.
