Located in Manchester City Centre, Bruntwood Works provided their 16-storey Bloc building, formerly known as Lowry House, a £6.3m renovation. The third of their ‘pioneer’ projects to be transformed into a state of the art workspace.
As part of the transformation, Astra Signs were successful in tendering for the external and internal wayfinding signage pack. We were chosen by lead construction, refurbishment and fit-out contractor Cubic Works to provide the new signage strategy for the building.
The external facade was given a significant upgrade with a Hyvert living wall by I Want Plants, to compliment the new external illuminated entrance signage, projecting sign and window manifestations, provided by Astra.
As featured in an article by Place North West, Bruntwood works CEO Ciara Keeling commented, “Bloc’s transition from a corporate office building to a wellbeing-focused workplace is game changing for Manchester and we have responded directly to what businesses and their employees expect from a modern workspace.”
