Set on the top floor in the heart of Manchester, this workspace was designed to feel both inspiring and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Positioned directly opposite the iconic John Rylands Library, the scheme takes cues from the richness, character and architectural detail of one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, while also honouring the building’s own history as the Wood Street Mission. From material choices to layered detailing, the design was carefully considered to create a workspace that feels distinctive, characterful and rooted in place.
A project where history, context and function came together beautifully.
