The design is inspired by the characteristic warehouses of this former industrial area of Manchester, as is the GOLD zinc entrance that recalls the gables and doors of loading warehouses.
No less than three finishes (ANTHRA-ZINC, PIGMENTO Grey, and GOLD lacquered zinc) and three installation systems (Standing seam, Interlocking and MOZAIK panels) were used.
to construct the three blocks of five, six and ten storeys covering 10000m² of surface.
