Whilst always being sensitive to the building’s architectural features, the transformation increased the useable floor space by 17% this resulted in cost savings through a reduced need for leasing office space elsewhere in the city. Doors were of timber and glass – including automatic doors – and a bespoke timber door frame was fitted to the back of a large heritage oak framed door to seamlessly integrate with the bespoke single glazed solution. Komfort designed, supplied and installed a specialist bespoke integrated solution, comprising architectural glazing, frameless single glazed and double glazed partitioning and firescreens. Specialist architectural glazing, frameless single and double glazed partitioning, with fire screens and doors were used to renovate a historic landmark building in Manchester which increased the useable office floor space by 17%. Komfort’s intelligent space approach was applied throughout this integrated solution. Komfort worked together with the architects and the main contractor to address the design challenges of maintaining the architectural integrity of the beautiful 8-storey building whilst enhancing it for current and future use by various growing municipal departments. The environment was also used to test and showcase furniture and technology that could be incorporated in the final designs including meeting room management systems, social and communal areas for staff to eat and meet and smaller individual meeting spaces for quiet working.Īll of the team members were chosen for their quality, ability, understanding and experience of working within a collaborative environment. This created an environment where people and teams could share information and identify solutions to situations before they escalated formal meeting structures were supplemented by informal meetings and discussion. The project benefited from a ‘One Team’, collaborative approach, with all parties including Manchester City Council, main contractor, Laing O’Rourke and architects, Ian Simpson Architects working from a shared office and committed to shared goals, including specific regeneration and sustainability objectives.
