This impressive post-modernist building in the heart of Manchester’s business district hosts an inspiring coworking space, commissioned by one of the key international players in this booming market.
Finished to a very high standard throughout, the space incorporates the best of coworking design principles, retaining a healthy balance between open plan areas to promote interaction between the members and more secluded rooms that allow privacy when required.
Respecting the building’s architectural heritage, the design team has kept the industrial feel by leaving the services and brutalist concrete frame exposed and softening the atmosphere with the use of wood panelling and custom-built furniture in warm walnut finish. For the mezzanine café, overlooking the grand double-height entrance, the designers specified Vtec’s Supacoustic panels in the matching walnut finish and circular perforated design that echoes the metal balustrades.
These attractive panels with acoustic backing were factory finished and assembled into raft modules before being shipped on site, ready for the installation.
