Altrincham: a new hub for exceptional architecture

Altrincham has transformed over the past decade. Once a traditional market town, it is now one of the North West’s most vibrant destinations, known for its culture, dining, and design with a unique mix of heritage and contemporary development. 

For BCAE Architects, Altrincham represents the type of environment where exceptional design thrives: ambitious, functional, and tailored to the people who live and work there. Our recent expansion into the town reflects both the opportunities it offers and our commitment to delivering high-quality, design-led projects across the region. 

Heritage meets modern living

Altrincham blends historic charm with contemporary architecture, where beautifully restored Victorian buildings sit alongside striking new developments, creating streetscapes that balance character with innovation. For us as architects, it offers the perfect context to create homes and spaces that respect the past while looking forward, combining elegance with practicality. Our presence in the town allows us to engage directly with the local context, ensuring designs respond to both site and community. 

Connected and convenient 

Situated close to Manchester and with strong transport links across the North West, Altrincham offers city access without sacrificing calm and community. For clients, it means the convenience of proximity and connectivity; for architects, it makes collaboration and project management across the region more effective.

Our studio in Altrincham provides a base from which we can meet clients locally and oversee projects with precision and care. 

A community that values design 

The town has become a destination for people who care about quality, originality, and craftsmanship. Boutique shops, artisan markets, galleries, and restaurants reflect a culture of creativity that extends into how residents approach their homes. For architects, this creates an inspiring environment to deliver projects that are ambitious yet practical, sophisticated yet designed for life. Having a studio in the heart of the town allows us to stay immersed in this creative energy. 

Looking Ahead 

Altrincham represents the future of high-quality architecture in the North West: a place where design, lifestyle, and community intersect. Our studio provides a platform to develop projects that are both creative and highly functional, giving clients homes and spaces that reflect their aspirations in areas including Hale Barns, Prestbury, Bowdon, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow and other surrounding locations.
