No.1 Ancoats Green features in Architects’ Journal, reflecting on an era of transformation and regeneration for Manchester.

The Architects’ Journal (Vol. 256, Issue 9) turns its attention to Manchester, documenting a city in the midst of continued transformation. Bringing together a collection of recently completed buildings and significant urban projects, the publication explores how architecture is shaping the city’s future while responding to its industrial heritage, growing population and evolving neighbourhoods. It offers a snapshot of Manchester at a pivotal moment, highlighting projects that contribute not only to the skyline, but also to the quality of everyday life.

Among the featured developments is Ancoats Green, with interiors by Jasper Sanders + Partners. Positioned on the edge of Manchester city centre, the project forms part of the wider regeneration of one of the city’s most distinctive neighbourhoods. The development demonstrates how contemporary residential design can strengthen an established urban community while supporting the continued growth of the area.

The article highlights the relationship between the new homes and the restored Ancoats Green, emphasising the importance of creating places where architecture, landscape and community work together. Rather than viewing housing as an isolated building, the scheme is presented as part of a broader civic ambition, reconnecting residents with generous public space and contributing to a healthier, more walkable neighbourhood.

For Jasper Sanders + Partners, the interiors were conceived to complement this wider vision, creating homes that feel calm, generous and connected to their surroundings. The inclusion of Ancoats Green within The Architects’ Journal reflects the significance of the project, not only as a residential development, but as part of Manchester’s continuing story of thoughtful urban renewal and design-led regeneration.
