The former Rackhams department store, now rebranded as Foundation, plays a central role in the broader Stamford Quarter Masterplan. This ultra-sustainable project seeks to rejuvenate a declining high street by transforming the site into a vibrant hub for collaborative workspaces and leisure activities, positioned at the heart of Altrincham. The lower levels of the building are dedicated to a mix of dining, beverage, and leisure facilities, while the upper levels have been refurbished to offer modern office accommodations. Through a collaborative, wide-reaching team effort, the innovative transformation of the aging ‘Black Box’ department store has turned it into a sustainable and vibrant town centre asset.
