Cooper Parry, Manchester

We've delivered a stunning workspace that truly captures the essence of Cooper Parry's rebel spirit while celebrating the best of Manchester's culture and heritage.

Visitors are now welcomed into the Rebelution Lounge, a sophisticated business lounge that serves as both reception area and flexible meeting space. This space embodies Cooper Parry's tagline perfectly, it's a world away from standard accountancy office reception areas, featuring comfortable seating arrangements around a large communal table that encourages informal collaboration and creates a calming, welcoming environment. 

Throughout the space, we've woven Manchester's rich cultural heritage into the design narrative. The iconic Manchester bee takes centre stage through our striking gold bee sculptures, which create focal points in both the business lounges and meeting rooms. These golden sculptures pay homage to the city's industrious spirit, complementing meeting rooms that bear names celebrating what Manchester is famous for, including the Hacienda and the Mill. The presence of these bee sculptures throughout the professional spaces reinforces Manchester's symbol of hard work and community, creating a cohesive design thread that connects each area.  

The design celebrates the building's stunning original features, particularly the parquet flooring and exposed services that create that authentic, moody atmosphere. We've enhanced these with carefully selected lighting, working with CES to replace standard office fixtures with pendant lights that add layers of visual interest and create intimate pockets of light throughout the space.
