Key Property Developments in the West Midlands, central England, UK
Birmingham ArchitectureWe've selected what we feel are the key examples of Birmingham Architecture. We aim to include West Midlands Buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.We cover completed Birmingham buildings, new building designs and architectural exhibitions. We also post architecture competitions across the West Midlands. The focus is on contemporary Midlands buildings but information on traditional architecture is also welcome.

Teenage Cancer Trust, BCH Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands  image © Chris Gascoigne Teenage Cancer Trust Birmingham RIBA Award winner, 2011 This is a single storey lightweight structure perched over A& E and the fracture clinic. It is situated in a busy and chaotic part of the town, cut off by roads and surrounded by hospital buildings with different dates, styles and looks all embracing one other. The design has achieved an oasis of peace and calm while still meeting the very specific and stringent requirements set by the NHS. The attention to details and to colours is quite remarkable. The Cube Architects: Make  photograph © Make / Zander Olsen The Cube Birmingham This building is a new landmark destination building in a rapidly regenerating district of central Birmingham. It marks a key moment in Birmingham’s development: the first of a new phase of visionary buildings which will build on the work of Future System’s Selfridges building and pave the way for Mecanoo’s Library of Birmingham and Foreign Office Architects’ New Street station. Comprising offices, parking, apartments, retail units, a hotel, spa, restaurant and “sky bar”, The Cube was conceived as a building which would never close.

John Christophers has transformed an existing end of terrace house into a ground-breaking carbon-neutral family home of rare quality using low energy materials and environmental systems. It is thought to be the UK’s first retrofit to achieve level 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes – seven years ahead of the government’s target date The project involved the conversion and extension of a two bedroom redbrick semi-detached Victorian house into a four bedroom dwelling with a studio loft.
