Space Envy

04/09/2026

A great week on site in Manchester as we put the finishing touches to one of our latest office uplift projects.

Designed to bring a more modern, flexible feel to the workplace, the refreshed space introduces a greater variety of ways to work — from focused phone booths and meeting spaces to areas that encourage collaboration, connection and those all-important conversations away from the desk.

And with Manchester City Centre right outside the window, there’s no shortage of energy, character and community to complement the new workspace.

We’re almost at the point of handing the space back to our client, who are understandably excited to move back in and make it their own. It’s always a rewarding stage of a project — seeing the transformation come together and knowing the space is ready for the people who will use it every day.

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.

We’ve been on site this week at The Walton Building, formerly known as Hornby House - a building with a rich industrial past, once used as one of WHSmith’s main distribution centres. Now, a new chapter is underway, with a major redevelopment transforming the space into a collection of luxury short-stay apartments.

It’s always exciting to see historic buildings being thoughtfully reimagined for modern use, while retaining the character and story that make them so distinctive.

Not every project is about aesthetics; some are all about precision, planning and practicality. Working within active factory environments requires a careful balance of logistics, coordination and minimal disruption, all while keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly.

It’s this side of project delivery that often goes unseen, but it’s where thoughtful planning and experience make all the difference.

After a productive meeting on our ongoing Heathrow project, it was great to round off the day with a game of padel alongside the team and clients. A brilliant way to step away from the boardroom, strengthen relationships and enjoy some friendly competition!

Great projects are built on strong collaboration — on and off site

After two brilliant years in this space, we’re officially moving on.

This office has been the backdrop to so much growth, creativity and progress, and while it’s hard to say goodbye, we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

Next stop: bigger and better premises. Here’s to new beginnings and the next stage of the journey.

A productive day in Bolton carrying out a survey for a new client. This four-storey clinic is set for a full modernisation, creating a contemporary healthcare environment while respecting the character of its surroundings. Looking forward to developing the design and bringing the vision to life!
