tp bennett’s Manchester studio is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. We’re looking back at some of our most significant schemes with a fresh perspective. At One City Square we retrofitted a tired 1980s building. in a historic public square in Leeds, into a contemporary, sustainable and dynamic city centre office, providing 11 floors of open plan workspace floors for Catella APAM. Through geometry and composition, we transformed an awkward arrival experience, creating an inviting double-height entrance that opens up into an active atrium carved into the heart of the building. A communal feature staircase, business lounge, café and co-working spaces offer flexible working opportunities and occasions to bring building users together. Andrew McLean, Director for tp bennett’s Leeds office said: “Our approach to One City Square championed the existing building, repositioning a 40-year-old building with a renewed sense of place, creating a healthy, sustainable and collaborative workplace environment for tenants in a competitive city-centre market. 📸 HUFTON & CROW LTD #Leeds #architecure #interiordesign #workspace #workplace #officearchitecture #retrofit

“We as designers have a responsibility to create environments that aren’t just one size fits all. We have to offer settings that appeal to a diverse array of people and not just assume that every environment is going to allow everyone to thrive….I’m not sure there’s ever going to be one space that suits everybody, that’s why variety and options are so important." In a roundtable for Mix Interiors, Associate Director Amy Barrs explores what it means to design the next generation of spaces to learn and work and how to create adaptive, inclusive and inspiring educational and workplace environments.

This year tp bennett’s Manchester studio celebrates its 10-year anniversary. We’re looking back at some of our most significant schemes with a fresh perspective. For leading international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, we created a new global centre at One New Bailey in Salford. The workspace provides a flexible ‘centre of energy’ that supports global business innovation and a new agile approach to legal work. An improved sense of arrival opens up to an inspiring space that enables people to think and work creatively in a connected community. Leigh Dimelow, Principal Director for tp bennett’s northern studios said: “The design challenged the traditional legal office blueprint to offer a progressive and flexible environment that was representative of their culture. It was important that productivity was not just about individual outputs but also about working and innovating in teams, connecting across the organisation.” Find out more about the project https://lnkd.in/e7DHZFts #architecture #interiordesign #workplace #officedesign #Manchester #Salford

This year tp bennett’s Manchester studio celebrates its 10-year anniversary. We’re looking back at some of our most significant schemes with a fresh perspective.   At Windmill Green we transformed a derelict building into Manchester’s most sustainable new office, setting a new bar for sustainable workplaces in the city for FORE Partnership. Complete with a communal roof terrace, this deep retrofit retained the concrete frame of the original 1970s building while extending the floor area and adding two extra floors. A striking façade of teal glazed terracotta tiles and glass took its cue from Manchester’s historic urban fabric.   Yvette Hanson, Principal Director at tp bennett said: “Windmill Green was designed with occupants at its heart. It creates an office- based community which is accessible to the general public through the ground floor retail, a co-working space, and roof-top amenity. The combination of environmental sustainability and a social purpose, together with a sensitive architectural approach to a key strategic site, makes Windmill Green stand out.”   A BCO Innovation award winner, find out more about the project here https://lnkd.in/eCGDW-PD   #sustainabledesign #retrofit #Manchester #architecture #workplace

Thrilled that Capital Group, London is a 'workplace of the year' finalist at this year’s Mix Interiors awards.   Inspired by the rich history and dynamic movement of the Paddington Basin, tp bennett’s design for Capital Group’s new London headquarters showcases how design can reflect its local environment, blending form and function to create a purposeful workplace.    The workspace features two unique interconnected staircases that are instrumental in creating a united workplace, serving as a catalyst for collaboration and connectedness. With a mix of agile and cellular areas, the workspace harnesses tp bennett and Capital Group’s shared values to enhance the productivity and wellbeing of employees. The multifunctional design of the terraces and auditorium spaces ensure accessibility for both client hospitality and employees.   Designed to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and LEED Gold Green Building accreditations, the project utilised tp bennett’s proprietary responsible sourcing platform ‘AD Lib’ to specify all materials, promote circularity and ensure transparency in the supply chain.   Congratulations to the project team!   📸 HUFTON & CROW LTD   #interiordesign #interiors #workplaceinteriors #workplace #sustainabledesign #mixawards or #mixawards2024
