The Commonwealth Games have given Birmingham a once in a generation opportunity to transform a formerly struggling part of the city

Seeing the energy and the spirit of collaboration in Birmingham in the run up to the 2022 Commonwealth Games has been an incredible experience.

At Glenn Howells Architects, we are incredibly proud to have played our part in delivering the change that the Commonwealth Games is bringing to Birmingham. Perry Barr Residential Scheme has been undertaken alongside our client Birmingham City Council and project partners Arcadis and Lendlease Construction.
