St Peter’s Square

Project Overview

Providing 268,00 sq ft of office space in the heart of Manchester’s central business district, the building has been designed to meet the extremely extracting demands of a BREEAM Excellent’, Grade A’ compliance.

Following on from RED’s previous successful schemes with Russells Construction (now known as Russell WBHO following a merger in 2018), RED were engaged to provide a solution for this city centre hotel development.

There were 3 main challenges to overcome during the tender stage,

  1. high acoustic values to be achieved;
  2. development of a bespoke vertical brise soleil feature;
  3. all windows to be installed at an off-site Pre-Cast Concrete facility.
Design Details

The development comprises of 2 hotels stacked on top of each other – Motel One and Stay City. The city centre plot was on a postage stamp and site access was particularly difficult, hence why it lent itself to an off-site modern method of construction.

Design detailing was quite challenging due to the way the PCC panels are vertically stacked.

However, the RED Pre-Construction team were given the opportunity to get involved in the scheme at very early stages and develop a robust detail and bespoke PCC bracketry in conjunction with the project team at Russell WBHO.
