Students from Manchester School of Architecture have presented their final ideas for a project in Alsager. 

The budding architects were tasked with providing ideas for an area of Milton Park by a newly-formed local arts enterprise – Studiolab.  

A group came to Alsager on Monday (May 13th) to present ideas to Alsager and District U3A and get feedback and now they have come back to the town with their final designs. 

Studiolab is the brainchild of Alsager businessmen, architect, Alex Melhuish founder of founder and owner of Home Coffee Alsager & Home Studio Architects and Alex Hough, who owns the building at Two door Studio.  

The students set up their own blog page here for the project here saying: "Our project aims to initiate beneficial change for the community of Alsager through a real design project - on a real site.

"The main aspects of our work will focus on urbanism and designing a proposal, informed by the conducted urban research.  

"Alsager is the hometown of our collaborators from StudioLab, so they are deeply invested in bringing about positive change ... "
