Home Case studies Arup Manchester
Step into Arup's vibrant new workspace in Manchester, a 36,000 sq ft haven spread across two floors. The office's innovative design not only captures Arup's unique culture but also champions sustainability and inclusivity.
Arup's new workspace, covering 36,000 sq ft across two floors linked by a newly installed statement staircase, was designed with the circular economy in mind and includes repurposing more than 840 furniture items, with a focus on reporting carbon savings to exemplify Arup’s commitment to sustainability.
Our team worked closely with Arup to create a space that captures Arup’s culture, fosters collaboration, improves wellbeing and inclusivity and adds social value. We also partnered with Arup’s inclusivity/accessibility team to deliver a design that meets all employees’ needs, including accommodating neurodiversity.
Reused furniture items retained in their current form included desks, task seating, meeting room furniture and personal storage - helping to save approximately 91 tonnes C0₂e towards the carbon impact of the project.
In addition, repurposed products saw us reupholster and re-powder items such as sofas, lounge chairs, semiprivate focus booths, existing stools and media units.
Among the hero products used on the Arup Manchester project were bistro tables and chairs - manufactured using innovative materials to create unique, sustainable, environmentally friendly and above all high quality products.
