In West Derby, a Grade II listed Victorian school left vacant since 2004 is being transformed into housing. The project will create 11 apartments within the main building, restore the original coach house and garden room, and add 18 new homes. Mantis delivered specialist Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) design, balancing modern performance with heritage sensitivity.
Respecting a Heritage Asset
Working with a listed building requires a careful balance between preserving its historic features and introducing modern infrastructure. For Danson Park, our team ensured that all M&E interventions were sensitive to the building’s character, protecting the architectural fabric while meeting compliance standards.
Comprehensive Energy & Utilities Design
Our role extended across multiple disciplines, from SAP and heat loss calculations through to utilities coordination. We delivered robust designs for hot and cold water systems, as well as ventilation and extraction (MEV) layouts, ensuring the apartments would provide energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Collaboration with the Design Team
Mantis worked closely with DROME, the project’s architect and lead designer, to align technical solutions with architectural intent. This collaborative approach meant that the M&E services supported both heritage restoration and modern housing needs without compromise.
Bringing Life Back to the Site
Once neglected, the site is now set to become a vibrant residential community. By combining thoughtful design with technical expertise, the project not only restores an important local landmark but also provides high-quality homes that will benefit West Derby for years to come.
