Development

The Green Building is an environmentally conscious mixed-use development situated in Manchester. The Green Building was designed by Sir Terry Farrell, who aimed to create a sustainable environment on the triangular plot, adjacent to Oxford Road national rail station. The building was constructed by Taylor Woodrow as part of the Macintosh Village development, which was formerly a Dunlop tyre factory and also the birthplace of the Mackintosh raincoat. A total of 33 apartments are arranged across the uppermost eight stories of the ten-floor development.

Key 'Green' Features Include
- Energy-efficient thermal design encompassing renewable insulation.
- Solar thermal water heating system providing hot water for domestic plumbing and underfloor heating.
- Large full-height triple-glazed windows on the south-facing side maximise solar gain.
- An internal central atrium interlinked with all apartments provides a passive air conditioning system. Warm air from each apartment passes into the central atrium and rises, drawing fresh cooler air into the apartments. Computer-controlled windows at the top of the atrium regulate air-flow.
- Building electrical requirements are supplemented by a 2.5 kW push-type wind power turbine.
- The cylindrical shape of the tower provides the least surface area related to the volume, further increasing thermal efficiency.
- Integrated recycling facilities for glass, paper and aluminium.
- All apartments only have showers in the bathrooms; there are no baths in the residential apartments. The taps are designed to use the minimum amount of water necessary to wash hands safely.

Communal Areas

Accessed via secure entry system there is a ground floor entrance hallway with lift and stairs to all floors. The communal hallways have a large glass atrium ensuring they are well lit. The apartment is accessed from the 9th floor with just one other apartment.
