BCO Technical Tour - 3 Hardman Square, Manchester
Event date: 4 Nov 2008
The BCO's Northern Chapter invites you to visit the new offices of national law firm Halliwells, located within the 16,000m² Allied London building at 3 Hardman Square in the Spinningfields district of Manchester.
Venue: Halliwells, 3 Hardman Square, Manchester M3 3EB
These premises consolidate Halliwells' Manchester staff in one central location, providing accommodation for over 800 employees.Halliwell's commissioned ID:SR to carry out a thorough briefing, building selection, and due diligence exercise, ensuring that the new building suited their current and future expectations of growth. This included shaping some of the fundamental components of the building to suit Halliwell's significant occupation of the premises. The chosen building, completed in 2007, was selected because it provided excellent floorplate efficiency suited to the cellular office design of the new offices. ID:SR were subsequently commissioned as the interior designers for this project.
Triangular on plan, each fee earner floor is arranged around a central core with cellular offices located on the perimeter, benefiting from natural light. On the eighth floor, facilities inlude a dedicated client business lounge and waiting area, a 30-person boardroom and 120-person seminar room. Smaller meeting rooms are conceived as semi-transparent glass boxes which project into the floorplate, and as a series of curved concrete sculpted forms defining the plan of the building and creating an enlivening interior space for visitors and staff alike.
