First look at The Queen’s Gambit inspired apartments at £70m scheme

First look images of brand new apartments being built in a £70m scheme at MediaCity have been released.

The interiors have been created by interior design specialist Lou Tegerdine and were inspired in part by the hit Netflix series, the Queen’s Gambit.

All apartments at High Definition, a 17-storey development, feature open-plan living and kitchen spaces and have floor-to-ceiling windows.

It also includes a terrace lounge – a conservatory style garden facing area situated off the podium terrace which abridges High Definition’s 16-storey and 13-storey residential towers, Alto and Aria.

High Definition will also provide residents with co-working spaces equipped with hyperoptic broadband and private meeting pods ideal for Teams or Zooms calls.

The scheme, which is being delivered by Latimer, the private development arm of Clarion Housing Group, will comprise 280 apartments. 100 of these will be available through shared ownership.

Latimer group development director, Richard Cook, said: “High Definition is a true exemplar of the future of city living.

“Situated right in the heart of Media City’s thriving creative hub, the development is in an excellent location.

“It offers residents access to everything from award winning green spaces, leading cultural attractions and waterfront living to major employers right on their doorstep and outstanding connectivity with Manchester city centre itself.

“Not only that, but High Definition will provide a range of really attractive amenities – including high spec co-working spaces and a residents’ lounge – which will ensure the development becomes a vibrant community for all those who live there.”
