Project details

A flagship HQ for an expanding global brand.

We created an interior in harmony with the building, exploiting assets such as natural light, a glazed façade and dynamic 45-degree angles.

The fourth floor is exclusively dedicated to client-focused activities — offering a reception, lounge and suite of meeting rooms — while a ground floor staff café generates an energising buzz.

We spatially engineered floors five and six to create efficient working zones and adaptable spaces.

A full-height granite wall divides the ground floor space, creating a light, vaulted entrance and a darker, moodier space to the rear.

Our design utilised a strong heroic geometry, bold light features and a materials palette that references the gritty Mancunian spirit.
