COUCHBASE 35 DALE STREET
A legacy from Manchester’s commercial past, this is one of many former loading bays to be found scattered throughout the city. Left dark and redundant, we embraced the challenge of re-purposing this post-industrial space. Working with the existing skeleton- timber loading decks, hoist shafts, glazed tiles and glass brick, we created a unique reception and meeting space, linking to a large, top lit basement office suite. Contained behind a full height glass entrance wall, the space is now reborn as the home of software company, Couchbase. Recognised for its innovative re-use, this award-winning scheme is part of the 35 Dale Street project and is loved by users and visitors alike.
