Jolie have completed a comprehensive redesign of 60 Fountain Street, a contemporary workspace located in the heart of Manchester’s city centre. Their comprehensive redesign of the existing building combines comfort, style and a nod to residential aesthetics, while transcending traditional commercial design choices and materials. Seeking to attract satellite offices of larger businesses from outside Manchester, as well as SMEs looking for an HQ that will put the needs of their staff first, Jolie believe that their unique approach to interior design, incorporating sensory zoning and scientific colour theory, has ensured that 60 Fountain Street will become a destination with a purpose in Manchester city centre.
Material and colour choices in each area are underpinned by their extensive scientific research around colour, fragrance, touch, sound and scent, to drive tenants emotionally through each environment in the five storey building. Maximising functionality, Jolie also converted a disused plant room and turned it into a high end residents amenity lounge with an outdoor terrace which has bifold windows allowing it to be used in both summer and winter. The bar can be used for coffee meetings or evening drinks events, and there is a studio which can be used for exercise or a board room with multi-functional furniture and storage solutions.
