Sandwiched between Whitworth Street West and the Rochdale Canal, The Lock Building is built on one of Manchester's tightest plots - yet manages to make the best of its position with an intelligent, contemporary design. There's a lot to like about this building, from the impressive full-height atrium to the glass-block walls and the distinctive orange balconies. But it's the top few floors of the development where The Lock Building really shines; the apartments have full-height shutter-style windows with interesting terraces and panoramic views across Manchester. The Lock Building is also consistent in its high-quality detailing, from kitchens to bathrooms and communal spaces. The full-height central atrium with its angled bridge-style walkways and neon lighting is the city's most impressive entrance and the apartments on the canal side have lovely water views across to the planted gardens of Bridgewater Bank. But if you're a closet train spotter, you might want to choose one of the apartments at the front of the building - from the 4th floor and above you get unobstructed views of Oxford Road Station!
