MOHO Apartments Manchester

In the heart of Manchester’s vibrant urban landscape, the MoHo Apartments stand as a distinctive example of modern, modular living. Short for “Modular Housing,” MoHo is a pioneering residential development that redefines city accommodation through innovation, efficiency, and flexibility. Originally conceived as pre-fabricated, factory-produced units, the MoHo Apartments offer high-quality, adaptable living spaces designed to grow with their residents.

Constructed by HH Smith, this development integrates a variety of clip-on architectural components—such as balconies, dining pods, and even additional bedrooms—that extend the functionality and comfort of each unit. Designed with dynamic urban lifestyles in mind, MoHo blends sleek modular architecture with practical adaptability, helping meet the growing demand for compact, stylish, and sustainable housing in the city.

Our Role in the MoHo Transformation

We were proud to be involved in a recent phase of works at MoHo Apartments, contributing over £500k in building services as part of a targeted remodelling initiative. These works focused on enhancing the performance and compliance of essential systems while ensuring the longevity and safety of the development as it continues to evolve.

Scope of Works:

Modification of Domestic Systems: We reconfigured domestic water systems to accommodate new layouts created by the internal remodelling works. This involved careful planning to minimise disruption to residents while upgrading existing pipework and connections.

Ventilation System Updates:

Ventilation systems were altered and improved to ensure continued air quality and performance in line with current building regulations. This was especially critical in a modular development, where internal air handling must be finely tuned to suit compact spaces.

Drainage System Modifications:

The drainage network was adjusted to suit the updated apartment layouts. Enhancing the flow, capacity, and compliance of drainage elements was a key part of aligning the system with today’s building standards.

Regulatory Compliance:

A major goal of the project was to bring all installations in line with current regulations, including energy efficiency, water conservation, and health & safety standards.

By seamlessly integrating these upgrades into the existing modular infrastructure, we’ve helped future-proof the development, ensuring it continues to provide high-quality accommodation that meets the demands of modern living.

Looking Ahead

The MoHo Apartments project illustrates the power of modular architecture paired with thoughtful engineering. As the urban housing landscape continues to evolve, projects like this underscore the importance of flexible infrastructure and the crucial role that smart, forward-thinking building services play in their success.

Whether working on traditional builds or cutting-edge modular designs, we remain committed to delivering tailored, reliable solutions that enhance performance and elevate living standards.
