I was never into excess but the way he valued and took advantage of every inch of the space with calculated thought made it ok for a minute.

I have watched approx 1038 homes on you tube, and I have finally found my favourite.

"Although I was told by my carrees teacher not to set my sights too high, I now live in a skyscraper and have a 7 meters high indoor garden."

Oh good God, finally I click on a video on the list that isn't directed by Matthew Donaldson and there are shots that ACTUALLY SHOW THE HOUSE. It was obvious from the first seconds.

I have no words to describe this home, besides stunning, absolutely stunning! The vast space and openness so high up,, like your in the clouds. The furniture, the decor, a work of art.

Total rubbish about the regeneration killing the place - Manchester still has many problems, but it’s far better now than it was. The Manchester of the 70s, and 80s that I grew up in was a dump. Dirty, loads of derelict buildings, no jobs (I had to leave the city to find work). Today there are thousands of highly skilled well paid jobs in the city, and I’m once again working back in Manchester, despite its problems, I’m proud of what’s been achieved so far with the regeneration.

What a great use of money. I love everything about this place. Amazing!!!

Yes I found this comment of his quite intriguing.. "contributing to the regeneration of place." Well that's funny seeing as your artistic product is a massive iconic structure which contributes to regeneration/gentrification and making Manchester an iconic, business "place," and you, the artist, sit on top of it!!

Absolutely Beautiful!!

Just thinking of all the homeless and the people who can't afford to heat their tiny flats and houses this winter makes this so obscene.

I'm working next to it , it just awful and boring buildings with big glasses and nothing really special!

the buillding is ugly as f. But he managed to build himself a nice nest , yet the uglyness is for the people to admire everyday, he gets the view. I don't like this in modern architecture. Beauty should be for everyone.

This guy is not an architect .. his ego is bigger than mars and he is quite selfish talking about architecture.

Badly designed building with major faults with the glass etc and ongoing legal disputes. This chump is responsible for the Majority of the badly designed sky Kennels in Manchester. Bland and an eyesore on the built environment.

Simpson sees himself as 'an artist' but then he comes up with some awful projects that lack any architectural value, one port street, swan house, first street south, transition, three 60... the list goes on and on. Sadly his unimaginative and dull architecture is now dominant in Manchester - a place with an incredible architectural heritage that is not being respected. Of course this isn't London where budgets are higher but this mediocrity needs to be stopped. I think it's really time to give some younger minds a chance since Simpson is really failing to deliver anything other than a square block with windows on it.

Hideous, horrendous eyesore with no "design" at all, no imagination or creativity. Horrible.

Ugly house
