Project 21-23 Quay Street, M3 4AE, Manchester

Mount Lighting worked closely with the client to provide a fantastic lighting solution for this Category B fit-out across two storeys in Quay Street, Manchester. The ABC building, in which the company was located, displayed a totally revolutionary new style for Manchester upon its completion in 1965 with spaces that transformed reflecting the modern industry in a modern city. The ABC Buildings are full of desirable features and embody the originality of the Sixties, challenging established principles and creating some of the best examples of sustainable architecture. With so much heritage in the very interior of the building, Mount Lighting needed to create a solution with as much originality and unrivaled impact for the office fit-out covering over 10,000 square feet.

project requirements

Our client required a fit-out over two floors that would be ideal for general working and feature areas. They also specified that the lighting design would need to be installed and created in a very specific pattern to replicate the company branding.

The move to Manchester was a reflection of the company’s constant growth and would be the workspace for 70 of their 200 global employees. With an amazing state-of-the-art office with a showroom and a unique digital data observatory as part of the layout, our team had to supply lighting that would inspire and impress while blending cohesively with the fantastic decor and furnishing.

The client requested surface luminaires and to get the best result, we worked closely with their designer and electrical contractors to facilitate this. We actively coordinated the design concept with correct lux levels that would benefit the working environment in all areas.

Products Utilised

Project Conclusion

Both storeys of the building now benefit from the ideal lux levels for office and breakout areas. As a business that welcomes visitors to their office frequently, Mount Lighting are confident that we delivered a lighting solution that will impress every visitor, client and prospective employee from the very first glance.

The standard switching options make controlling lighting even simpler and the lighting perfectly reflects the company branding.
