As Christmas is approaching we wanted to treat you to a little insight into what we’ve got coming up in the new year. I’ve been working with architects Maurice Shapero to design a couple of apartments at our Albert Mill development in Castlefield, Manchester.

Albert Mill is one of the last Victorian mills of its kind left in Manchester and we’ve restored the building to create 21 shell apartments and 9,206 sq ft of office, retail and leisure space. Inside the space is amazing! Exposed brick, timber beams and cast iron columns – loft style living at its best. The first residents are enjoying living at Albert Mill, having created their own interiors to suit them, and we have a handful of apartments left.

We were introduced to architect Maurice Shapero during the competition to design the bookend for Tutti Frutti at New Islington. We really liked his work and enlisted him to design a stripped-back one bedroom apartment in a traditional, raw, Manhattan Loft style; and a spacious two bedroom/two bathroom apartment that shows off all of the building’s original features.

Without giving too much away we can tell you that the one bed has a ‘jigsaw door’ theme, and the bathroom has a frosted glass wall backlit by LED lights providing background lighting to the apartment.

The two bedroom apartment has a huge open plan living space with dual aspect; you can really imagine entertaining your friends in this vast area.

Anyway, that’s enough to whet your appetite for now. If you think you would be interested in one of these new apartments drop us a line at live@urbansplash.co.uk to be the first to see them. Otherwise we will be able to reveal all in the New Year.
