Brewster Bye Architects has been appointed to design the UK’s first purpose-built LGBT+ extra care housing for old people.

The scheme will include more than 100 apartments for people aged 55 or over, with a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership tenures, to ensure the homes are as accessible as possible to Manchester people, said the council.
