Muse hits the right note

Working examples - our track record
Addressing energy efficient design and energy management
At our St Paul’s Square development in Liverpool, we utilised deep ground water as an energy sink to deliver up to 15% of power supplies from renewable sources.
Encouraging public transport provision
Transport provision and the local economy were major considerations when developing Newcastle Quayside, where we contributed to a new light bus service and preferentially selected regional contractors and suppliers.
Reducing the environmental impact of construction materials
Throughout all phases of development at Smithfield, a pioneering mixed-use scheme in Manchester's Northern Quarter, we have balanced the specification of traditional and new materials to minimise delivery impact in this densely occupied part of the city.
Minimising waste
The first phase of our Chatham Place development in Reading included prefabricated elements of structure, façade cladding and major components to minimise on-site waste.
Protecting and enhancing local bio-diversity
Our Hulme High Street development in Manchester was designed around a network of green spaces to encourage wildlife and flora to become re-established, in comparison with the previously barren environment.
Reducing water use
At our Millbay development in Plymouth, we have used an integrated SUDS system, which allows collected surface water to be re-used for landscape irrigation and features.
Considering life cycle costs
A 30-year commitment to the reliable and consistent provision of the facilities at our HMRC Newcastle Estate development in Longbenton drove the design and specification of all elements.
Designing sympathetically
Ecology was the watch word at our Cheadle Royal business park, where parkland enhancements involved retaining all mature trees, constructing a new lake and creating a dedicated 'wetland' area.
Providing a catalyst for change
Our Quayside development in Newcastle-upon-Tyne brought high quality office and leisure facilities to a largely unproven location, extending the boundaries of the city centre and creating a lively 24 hour quarter.
Integrating transport solutions
The masterplan for our Merchant Gate development in Wakefield provides for the possible relocation of Westgate railway station.
Delivering transformational change
The regeneration of Millbay will transform a partly redundant and derelict 15 acre harbourside area close to the city centre into an exciting new waterfront community. Plans have been approved to create around two million square feet of floor space.
Involving all stakeholders
The development of the masterplan strategy for Lewisham Gateway evolved over almost a year through a series of structured design workshops, meetings and presentations to a wide audience, including the LDA, the GLA, cyclist and walking interest groups, the Environment Agency, the Mayor of London, the Lewisham Design Panel, English Heritage, MPs and various interest groups.
