OXID HOUSE   \ \ \ \

City Centre Manchester

This development of 119 new build apartments is located at the top of Newton Street at the point the Northern Quarter meets Ancoats was a former undeveloped car park and disused office building. The 13-storey block was completed in 2018 and finished in striking perforated steel Coreten cladding panels to give the building its ‘rusty’ or Oxidised look as a homage to Ancoats industrial heritage. The building is now occupied by residents who benefit from a large on site private gym, rooftop terrace and 24 hour concierge.

The building design as been well received by residents and the wider architectural community and is now a well established marker in the City Centre.

During construction, locally sourced materials and labour was used wherever possible and utilised modern methods of construction. The lifetime energy use of the building has been reduced by virtues of a full solar panel system on the roof and energy saving heating and ventilation internally.
