Thanks for the pics H.

One application that I haven't come across yet. Time to get the spade out and do a bit of digging.

For some reason I really like those rustic old oliveresque buildings. Id love it if they could stay and be done up.

highriser · February 25th, 2007, 04:08 PM

These were beyond doing up Mez , there was a huge fire a few years in the main one that is now nearly gone in the pic,,

I like it. Has similar massing and elevations to some of the old mill buildings in the area.

I think Corb would be turning in his grave to know that architects are still churning out watered down, unrefined versions of his ideas 75 years after he first came up with them!

Thats not to say i dont like it (mainly for the reasons i have mentioned)

Isaac Newell · May 12th, 2007, 03:51 PM

Bollocks to Corbusier, lets have some arches.

The Longford · May 12th, 2007, 03:59 PM

Is that Kirkmamshulme Lane flats in Belle Vue?

kids · May 12th, 2007, 07:17 PM

You could do something like that on manchester's useless viaducts, which reminds me...

highriser · May 22nd, 2007, 07:52 PM

This is now under construction went past the site today and its a hive of activity.

Gorgeous building. Thanks SleepyOne.

There's no cafe space next to the water mind, looks a bit of a dead zone. I'm guessing the ground floor is car park, pity. But the building is nice, neat, streamlined, very 21st century.

That's gross IMHO (Eastern European social housing lookilikey or what!) However, the development will be saved by the fab 22 storey building.

I like the sqaure trees, very 'original modern'

Paul Butler Associates.

Victoria Works, Pollard Street, Manchester
Client: City Lofts Ltd

Paul Butler Associates gained planning permission for the conversion of a complex of mill buildings with some high quality new build on the Ashton Canal near the proposed Metrolink Extension.

Unfortunately a serious fire meant the mills could not be saved and in their place - to a similar footprint and height - a new build mixed use development of 420 flats (including 60 key worker flats) and office and retail space was proposed and approved.

Paul Butler Associates were involved in detailed negotiations over car parking, open space, s106 contributions and many other complex matters. The end result is an exciting scheme which is due to get underway imminently.

chansau · May 29th, 2007, 02:01 AM

Anyone know who the contractor is on this one please?

frozenmusic · May 29th, 2007, 02:57 AM

Actually I quite like the new building, but by far prefer the ruin.
