Birley Fields Office Development
ManchesterClient: HBG Properties
Budget: (Confidential)
Completed in 2003, this competition-winning design
for a new commercial development is situated in a strategic, gateway position en route to Manchester city centre.
The Birley Fields masterplan was designed to accommodate up to four regional headquarters, providing modern,
flexible office space in an area where the project is of great significance in terms of urban regeneration.
The design’s distinctive, contemporary form offers a framework for future development where previously there was a lack of any cohesion in the built environment.
In consultation with the client/contractor, an efficient plan form was generated for the offices providing a total of 80,000 sq ft within two three-storey buildings, to achieve a low maintenance, readily constructed project, which was delivered on budget. A further 80,000 sq ft of office accommodation is planned for the second phase of the masterplan.
