The Princess Road Bus Depot stood on Princess Parkway for a century, before its closure and demolition in 2011. It was a depot for Manchester's Trams and later Bus fleets, and a significant building in Moss Side, positioned within the terraced, residential neighbourhood surrounding it.
An industrial, dominant structure, you can see in the views, its removal had a huge impact on the street scene and the urban context. The
Buttress scheme created a range of new homes, which stitch together the streets, connecting the community with contemporary dwellings.
Associate David Coulson gave Manchester Society of Architects a tour of The Depot - a transformational project on the site of the former bus depot in South Manchester.
This innovative development, designed for Rowlinson, features over 300 homes, including apartments, family houses, and senior living options, creating a vibrant, inclusive, intergenerational community.
A development for all.
