Eden, New Bailey, is a pioneering 36m office building in Salford, standing as one of the UK’s most sustainable office developments. Completed by The English Cities Fund (ECF), a strategic partnership between Muse Developments, Legal & General, and Homes England, this 115,000 sq. ft building showcases cutting-edge environmental design. Designed by Make, the 12-story structure has a focus on net-zero operational carbon, sustainability, resource efficiency, and occupant wellbeing and features Europe’s largest green wall, made up of over 350,000 plants, to help absorb air pollution, enhance biodiversity, and provide thermal benefits.

SpaceInvader was selected to design the interior amenity spaces, bringing to life a new social hub that aligns with the building’s eco-friendly ethos. The design includes coworking areas, a wellness studio, and retail/event spaces, all cantered around the concept of “flourish.” This theme was inspired by the living wall and emphasises reclaimed materials, low VOC finishes, and carbon-conscious choices throughout the project.
