With some of Manchester’s finest buildings nearby, including Manchester Town Hall, the Central Library, and the Midland Hotel. FORE Partnership appointed tp bennett to refurbish an underused 1970s office building at 24 Mount Street and improve this prime location. The practice designed 24 Mount Street, now known as Windmill Green, to provide 80,000sq ft of high quality offices and to fit better into the historic streetscape. The concrete frame of the earlier building was kept, its floor area extended and two extra storeys added. A striking façade featuring teal glazed terracotta tiles and glass was designed, taking its cue from Manchester’s historic urban fabric. With a roof terrace, two semi-public storeys at street level and improvements to the public realm, the building “references the local historic fabric in a modern idiom to create a strong identity with a sense of social sustainability”, according to tp bennett’s Andrew Campbell. awards BCO Northern Awards 2020 Winner - Innovation Category RICS Social Impact Awards 2020 Winner - RICS Social Impact Awards - Commercial category news aj retrofit shortlist for windmill green windmill green riba macewen award shortlist more projects 30 lombard street freshfields bruckhaus deringer tp bennett LLP LinkedIn Twitter Instagram london One America Street London SE1 0NE +44 (0)20 7208 2000 london@tpbennett.com manchester Royal Mills, Unit 2B, 17 Redhill Street Manchester M4 5BA +44 (0)161 694 7700 manchester@tpbennett.com leeds 1 City Square, Infirmary Street Leeds LS1 2ES +44 (0)113 521 2100 leeds@tpbennett.com © 2021 tp bennett Terms & Conditions Industry Certifications Alumni Staff area
