We were commissioned in June 2003 to extend an existing Grade II listed warehouse on Blackfriars Street in Salford, adjacent to the River Irwell and within sight of Deansgate. The existing building is a multi-tenanted office over four storeys and a basement with a yard and car park to the rear.

Commercial – 12 Tib Lane
Reconstruction and refurbishment of a dilapidated Grade II listed office building.
The Grade II listed bulding’s previous owner had carried out significant internal demolitions to the walls and floors which had left the structure in a critically unstable condition. To further complicate matters, all previous works had been carried out without Listed Building Consent.
We liaised with the conservation officer and the stuctural engineer to develop a proposal that would provide six floors of new open plan office space incorporating a new steel and timber structure that would effectively ‘tie’ the existing building back together. A continuous void runs the full height of the building accommdating a new steel and timber stair.
Leisure – Victoria Warehouse
