The Narrowhouse company information, Employees & Contact Information

The Narrowhouse is poised to redefine Birmingham’s skyline and co-living scene. Nestled on a former brownfield site at 52 Gas Street, this 29-storey, energy-positive tower delivers 249 studio homes plus 1,572 m² of vibrant shared amenities—all powered by a landmark BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaic) façade. 1. The Jewel Tower: A glimmering solar powerhouse, its 4,072 m² BIPV skin generates net-positive energy, feeding surplus power into a local microgrid. Real-time public dashboards celebrate every watt harvested and shared. 2. Microgrid Underground: Beneath your feet, a resilient, decentralised energy network routes that surplus solar power across Gas Street—empowering neighbours, businesses and streetlights 24/7, all managed by smart inverters. 3. The Setting (Shoulder Podium): Crafted from reclaimed brick, timber and steel—80% reused materials—this canalside podium honours Birmingham’s circular-economy spirit. Green roofs, rain gardens and biophilic terraces temper heat, manage rainwater and nurture biodiversity. 4. Restore (Toll House): The Grade II Toll House of 1822 returns as a co-living cottage, its original stonework and sash windows carefully conserved. Adaptive interiors blend heritage with modern efficiency to create intimate community spaces. 5. The Golden Thread (Gas Street Heritage): From the first gas-lit boulevard in 1822 to today’s solar-lit skyline, Gas Street has always led energy innovation. The Narrowhouse weaves past, present and future—rekindling that legacy through cutting-edge renewables and community energy sharing.
