The Magic Story of Lowry House
Lowry House, built in the heart of Manchester’s city centre in 1973 by famous architects Robert Swift and Partners, has been refurbished into high quality office accommodation by developer Bruntwood. Bruntwood appointed Work Interiors to design and fit out the reception area so it created an immediate impact when people entered the building.
Work Interiors has designed a high-spec, modern reception space with a futuristic lift to transport visitors directly to a mezzanine floor with multi-function meeting areas. Elements of the design include a striking combination of wood, metal and glass together with a dramatic double floor meeting area decorated in spectacular red hues, giving a 5-star hotel feel to the entrance of the building.
Tom Jamieson, Managing Director of Work Interiors explains the company’s inspiration behind the design: “As Lowry House is situated right in the heart of Manchester’s financial district we wanted to create a space that made a visual impact as soon as you walked through the front door as well as being equipped to cater for customers that demand a cutting edge office space.”
Penny Stirland, Customer Service Manager responsible for Lowry House comments on the work: “Work Interiors has delivered a fabulous project - we are immensely proud to work in such a high-class and innovative environment. The reception area really is projecting a very big WOW!”
Peter Crowther, Development Director at Bruntwood comments: “We’ve just completed the launch of Lowry House to agents in Manchester and the feedback was resoundingly positive, a large proportion of the credit for which must go to Work Interiors. We are all delighted to see the original idea and plans brought to fruition on time and to such a high quality.”
Work Interiors has a long standing relationship with Bruntwood and has carried out a number of office interior design and fit out projects for the company’s buildings including the West One building in the city centre of Leeds and Landmark House in Cheadle Hulme.
