The new House by Urban Splash Pavilion

Introducing the sales suite of the future

This striking new structure in Cambridgeshire is the House by Urban Splash pavilion. Designed using super sustainable CLT, the space offers an immersive brand experience for customers at Inholm, Northstowe, where our Town House homes are now on sale. It symbolises our belief in design and is the first point of contact for all of our customers. “The pavilion is part of our mission to do things differently” says our head of design Olly Wigglesworth.

Another award for New Islington

New Islington has been named the country’s ‘best regeneration’ project at the Planning Awards. We’re transforming the central Manchester neighbourhood into somewhere filled with lots of green space, a Marina, an OFSTED-Outstanding school, amenities and our House by Urban Splash homes; judges praised the mix of housing types and strong sense of community. Find out more about the houses and apartments that we’re onsite creating – including the final remaining homes at Piercy Street where Help to Buy is also available.

We’ve welcomed two brilliant new additions at Port Loop in Birmingham. Sustainability group MAIA has set up a new ‘art house’ in one of our town house homes. Inside, there's a resident artists studio, and a community space for COVID-safe events like yoga classes and artist workshops. Port Loop has also welcomed the Floating Front Room; the first phase of civic square, its founders are passionate about bringing the Port Loop community together, serving teas and coffees to residents and visitors in the process.
