Went to the PO this afternoon to look at the application and to get a few pics and as usual the associated documents have been scanned and uploaded today.(2 weeks later) :nuts: Link to planning application below renders.
081355/OO/2006/C3
Site Formerly 122-124 Great Ancoats Street
Manchester
M4 6DE
OUTLINE APPLICATION for the erection of a 14 storey building comprising 145 bedroom hotel (use class C1) with ground floor commercial units comprising A1 (shops), A2 (professional services), A3 (restaurants), A4 (drinking establishments) and B1 (business) and associated services including 2 levels of basement parking
Renders already posted by Flange.
Hotel, Gt Ancoats Manchester
A proposal for development of 125 hotel rooms underground carparking and double height commercial space at podium level.
The staccato modulation of the facade follows traditional cotton weaves and makes reference to the nearby mills which were formerly at the seat of the industrial revolution.
Manchester City Planning Dept. required a building which made a bold statement and our response is an unapologetic intervention which addresses the Ancoats Lane Street Scape.
To communicate scale and massing more effectivly physical and computer generated models have been produced. A visually verified computer model was generated which illustrates the impact of the proposal on the streetscape
It adds to the density, which is good, but it is very plain - not in a way that makes it chic or interesting, just plain and boring. In insipid white doesn't do it any favours either. Better than nothing, but a much poorer standard that most new buildings at this end of town, which are mostly a high standard and individual.
Great Ancoats Street Hotel | 49m | 14 Floors

Taken fron DF. Application gone in,(apprently) new design. That area of Great Ancoats Street is really going to look awsome in a few years. ISIS, Gravity, Pollard Street, GAS Hotel and Eastgate down the road. :wink2: (article below new render)

SW Foulkes have designed this planned hotel building on Great Ancoats Street in Central Manchester, now submitted to the local council for outline planning permission.
Developed by Urbanize Ltd, it will reach 49 metres over a 13 storey slab block containing 125 new hotel rooms that stands above ground floor retail.
The design is a substantial move away from the previous version by the same architects although it still retains earlier elements such as the basic shape and the original pale limestone look that will be clad over an envelope of structurally insulated panels.
Added to the scheme is a coloured glass screen fading from deep red to blue as it works its way up the building. It has designed by the architect "to cast filtered light back onto the pure white façade and use it as a blank canvas for the light to play on as the conditions change." This glass is also replicated in a smaller scale on a shorter wing of the building.
There are a number of options open to the architects including having images projected on the glass or alternatively having it lit up at night, perhaps utilising LEDs.
Another major change to the proposals is moving away from a simple frontage of past plans to something with full height window bays that puncture the front of the building and will offer guests full height views of the changing Manchester skyline.
