Project Description
This large project for both the renovation of Historic cotton Mills
and new constructions is in the rapidly regenerating Ancoats area
of the centre of Manchester.
Ancoats Buildings Preservation Trust is the client for the shell-repair
and conservation works began on site in September 2004.

Our client, the Burrell Company/Inpartnership Ltd, has commissioned
us to design proposals for the development of these important buildings.
Our project shows the two main Mills being converted into apartments
with a textile resource centre in the historic building between the
two and a proposed small hotel as a new build completing a quadrangle.
The architectural vision for the re-inhabitation of Murrays
Mills is to create an enclosed central space, and to make new architecture
which clearly differentiates between the restored historic buildings
and new insertions. Externally, the new elements consist of corten-steel
staircase/lift towers to the Old Mill and the Old Mill Engine House
(echoing the form of the existing staircase); new external staircases
to the first floor flats in the New Mill; and a glazed lift to one
side of the Old Mills existing brick staircase.
Planning & Listed Building Consent for the conversion of the two
mill buildings and their engine houses was granted in January 2006
and we are now programming the first stages of the conversion work
to begin on site late 2008.
Construction cost: £16 million
Client: Inpartnership & The Burrell Company
