Weavers Terrace delivers high-quality contemporary homes within a striking South Pennine village and heritage setting. The terrace forms the first phase of a wider redevelopment, with Gagarin working closely with Clay Developments to bring the project to completion.
Designed for an exposed hillside location, the homes are robustly detailed and highly insulated, while carefully responding to their context. Each property is arranged to frame views of the surrounding landscape, with generous, flexible domestic spaces that are filled with natural light.
The terrace replaces a former weavers’ shed that once occupied the site, establishing a new courtyard between the listed mill buildings. This shared space is intended to become a focal point for communal life as the first residents move in and the wider development evolves.
