22 Lever Street

To design & refurbish 8,500 sqft. Of basement offices, kitchen, and W.C.s and to create an agile creative space for a ‘rent by desk’ model for creatives and a facility which includes shower, meetings rooms and high table collaborative space.

The Challenges

The rear space was damp, like a warren of W.C.s and Kitchen, there was a concealed goods lift, and the drains required replacing. We worked closely with the Landlords to make the best of the footprint and to accommodate the workspace, separate offices and phone booth / quiet space, kitchen breakout, IT room and shower / W.C.s.

Scope of Works

The design and office space planning was submitted to Building Control and the programme period was 12 weeks. Scope of works: Demolition, structural works, structural waterproofing, drainage, partitioning, crittall glazing, plumbing, mechanical, heat recovery, ventilation, LED lighting, joinery, ceramic tiling, polished concrete floors and carpet tiles

Interior Design

The Grade II Listed basement is utilised as a shared resource for the upper floor tenants, the shower, meeting rooms and kitchen / breakout and there are desks to rent on flexible terms

Carl's thoughts

“We believe good design doesn’t just look great, it supports your business model. At Lever Street, a ‘rent-by-desk’ scheme demanded spaces that adapt; meetings, collaboration, quiet zones—all seamlessly integrated.”

Big Bakes Manchester

REWRITE Concept design establishes a foundational framework that steers the development and realization of a project, ensuring a cohesive and well-guided evolution from vision to completion.

Location:

Spinningfields, Manchester

Sector:

Date:

July 2024

Big Bakes Manchester

The Big Bakes Manchester hospitality interior design project is an ambitious spin-off of the popular Bake-Off TV series, translating its baking-focused creative energy into an immersive hospitality venue & experience. The project involved transforming a raw shell space into a flagship northern location. The youthful team & founders behind the concept have 2 venues in London and 1 in Birmingham. Big Bakes aims to create 8-10 more locations nationwide, tapping into the growing enthusiasm for interactive, experience-based leisure venues.

Design Concept and Inspiration

The building’s distinctive architecture, featuring a steel cross-bracing and diagrid façade, evokes comparisons to London’s iconic Gherkin, albeit with a more geometric vernacular. The unique structure provides a modern, industrial backdrop for the interior’s playful, creative interior, designed by the award-winning Ellis Design Studio. Known for their expertise in hospitality interiors, Ellis Design Studio worked closely with Select Interiors Creators + Makers to transform the bare concrete, glass, and steel shell into a vibrant, engaging environment conducive to both professional and amateur bakers.

Scope of Works

This hospitality interior design project’s scope encompassed both Cat A (basic building finishes) and Cat B (interior fit-out) works, all completed within a tight 14-week programme from the moment of order to handover, including the procurement of all materials and fixtures, computer access flooring, installation of access floors for ease of cabling and technology integration, mechanical, ventilation, plumbing, electrical, extract, fire strategy, lighting, steel mezzanine & Staircase, Structural addition to increase floor space and provide an elevated dining / training and events space, bespoke joinery, resin radial bar tops, custom bars, shelving, displays, and wainscot cladding, Amtico acoustic flooring hexagonal design with feature strips, hexagonal banquette seating with central tree feature, commercial kitchen & a baking marquee, fully fitted bake stations designed for a hands-on experience, central to the concept of Big Bakes.

Key Challenges

A constricted programme – The 14-week timeline from start to handover demanded efficient project management and coordination across trades. Building Control: The introduction of new regulations for mezzanine floors required adaptive design and compliance strategies. Logistics and waste management: Managing the delivery and installation of a significant volume of materials, fixtures, and fittings within a confined urban space while minimising waste and ensuring sustainability.

Vision and Mission

Big Bakes founders Adam and Eloise’s mission is to share the joy of baking with all. They envision the venue as more than just a baking space – it’s an experience designed to make baking accessible and fun for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned baker or a complete novice.

The Big Bakes fitted out by Select Interiors Ltd Creators + Makers is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovative design, and fluid project management. The transformation of a raw, industrial space into an immersive, functional, and enjoyable environment was challenging & rewarding. The Big Bakes Team have plans to expand further across the UK, & the US. Big Bakes is set to become a key player in the interactive leisure sector, offering people the chance to experience the joy of baking in a unique, engaging setting.

Carl's thoughts

“We believe that memorable hospitality design is about shaping experiences: atmosphere, flow, sensory detail, technical precision. Big Bakes is a vivid example of how those elements combine to invite people in, stay longer and connect.”

March 2024

Charingworth Manor

Working closely with the creative team at Jolie Studio, our hospitality interior designers delivered a first-class design and build package that honoured the building’s heritage while elevating its style and function. With over three decades of experience in hospitality fit-outs and commercial interior design, we completed a full renovation of this Grade II Listed manor house in only 14 weeks.

Overview

As specialists in commercial fit outs across Manchester and the UK, Select Interiors approached the project with a deep understanding of historical buildings. Every element of the fit out balanced conservation with modern comforts. The brief required a full transformation of both private and public spaces, including:

● 8 boutique bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms
● A high-end restaurant and bar
● Drawing room, lounge, and cloakroom
● Office and communal spaces
● Formal meeting room with Crittall glazing and slim-line sliding screens

The outcome is a venue that is perfect for weddings, private events, and hotel guests, all while preserving the charm and integrity of the original architecture.

Scope of Works

This fit-out combined traditional craftsmanship with modern luxury. Materials such as marble, smoked oak, wool, linen and natural stone were carefully selected to reflect the Cotswold vernacular and enhance guest comfort.

Our refurbishment included:

Structural damp-proofing and remedial works
Full mechanical, plumbing and electrical installations
Dry lining, plastering, and bespoke decoration
Bespoke joinery and fabrication at our workshop
Marble and ceramic wall and floor tiles
Custom glazed shower screens
Signage and graphics
Installation of Crittall-style glazed partitions

Our in-house joinery team manufactured bespoke features at our workshop in Manchester, allowing us to maintain exceptional quality across every detail.

Interior Design

As experienced interior designers and hospitality interior design specialists, we collaborated closely with conservation officers to ensure all work complied with Grade II Listed specifications.
Jolie Studio’s vision was translated into timeless interiors that offer a sense of luxury and sophistication.

The design language is subtle yet luxurious, mixing heritage features like fireplaces and exposed stone with contemporary finishes and smart space planning.

The interiors now reflect the prestige of the postcode, Chipping Campden, one of the UK’s most exclusive areas, making Charingworth Manor one of the finest countryside wedding venues in the country.

The Hospitality Fit Out

Select Interiors’ commercial interior designers managed the entire programme, coordinating trades and approvals to meet the tight schedule. By leveraging our experience with commercial fit outs in Manchester and nationwide, we delivered on time without compromising on quality or detail.

All works were completed to the highest standard, ensuring both the venue’s style, practicality and ability to meet compliance were considered: a hallmark of our approach to hospitality spaces.

Outcome

Charingworth Manor now stands as a benchmark for sensitive restorations and elegant design in the hospitality sector. Guests enjoy a comfortable space full of character, while the operations team benefits from an efficient, high-performing environment.

From the bar to the bridal suite, every detail supports the experience of luxury, heritage, and celebration.

Carl's thoughts

“We meticulously refurbished Charingworth Manor, preserving its historic charm while introducing contemporary design elements to create a sophisticated hospitality experience.”

The process began with a thorough analysis of the company’s office fit-out needs, culture, and brand identity. Understanding the workflow and requirements of the different teams was essential for designing the space to foster collaboration and the Holy Grail to increase productivity.

Aluminium, steel, masonry, brickwork, reclaimed and new Oak, marble, soft wool boucle & woven fabrics. The design prioritised authenticity over embellishment and the Truth of Materials ethos from the Bauhaus movement

Overview

The Edwardian double fronted 3 storey building plus cellars was in a sorry state. The basement was damp, the building was dilapidated and required a turnkey design & build solution

Scope of Works

Full office design & 3D modelling, submission of drawings and management of works to Building Control including Structural & Mechanical Engineer’s designs. Build scope: Extensive demolition / strip out. Structural works, general building, structural waterproofing, new drainage, dry lining, plaster partitions, acoustic & FR rated glazed partitions, electrical, mechanical A/C, heat recovery, ventilation & plumbing. New windows, new fabricated steel staircases, joinery including 4 kitchens, reinstating period cornices in 2 areas, decoration, flooring, signage, desks, furniture, storage, sofas, and planting.

Interior Design

Whilst working with these clients we essentially adopted a forward-thinking mindset centring on delivering solutions as virtually all the plaster throughout literally fell off the walls when we started the demolition & structural works. The building had been vacant for some years, humidity and water ingress from leaks had caused extensive damage to the internal structure. We had to review all the original budgets to accommodate the additional work and hacked off and fully lined the walls and ceilings throughout. Balancing some of the bespoke elements and introducing ‘hack’s to hopefully achieve a scheme that was true to the original design intent
