Office re-fit into sustainable workspace
Commercial Client Manchester
17 York Street has always been a busily occupied office building in Manchester. Refurbished in the 90's it has now benefitted from another sustainable re-fit thanks to the expertise of Reid Architects and Specialist Contractor, RCL Services - our first time working with both companies.
With whole life carbon and net zero carbon assessments also being undertaken as part of the re-fit, 17 York Street is now able to demonstrate how as an 'existing stock' building, it can help it's new tenants/occupiers meet their own carbon emissions and ESG targets.

Plants - a mixed approach
Our main project involvement at 17 York Street was in the installation of an internal HYVERT living wall measuring some 17.5 sqm complimented by the installation of live plants in containers and two matching statement artificial Palms and Ferns in the entrance foyer.
For this project, HYVERT design was minimalist in the sense that our clients had not specified any pattern or shape, preferring the living wall to be an organic creation using a vibrant mix of plants which would all blend harmoniously.
