Levitt Bernstein Architects

Our specialists in office interior design in Manchester created a tailored workplace for 20 staff, including an open plan office space, kitchen and breakout area, server room, seating for the informal reception and collaborative working zones.

Overview

The result is a practical and stunning space that supports the day-to-day needs of a busy creative team.

This project reflects our expertise as trusted office refurbishment contractors in Manchester, delivering workspaces that combine an impressive technical performance with bespoke detailing and long-term flexibility.

Scope of Works

As a leading provider of commercial fit out solutions in Manchester, Select Interiors delivered a full package of works, including:

Demolition

Electrical installation
Data installation
LED linear lighting
Kitchen and breakout area fit-out

Interior Design

Our approach was centred on achieving a practical space which is flexible, efficient and performs well. As experienced commercial interior designers, we focused on solutions that would support the client’s workflow while reinforcing a strong architectural identity.

Key features of the scheme included:

Reconfigured Bespoke Joinery
We reused, remodelled and relocated bespoke joinery from the client’s previous office.
On-Site Bespoke Storage and Shelving
Custom shelving and storage were built on site using Birch-faced plywood, introducing warmth, durability and a crafted finish to the workspace.
Fitted Storage with Custom Detailing
Large fitted storage units were formed using adapted IKEA wardrobes, enhanced with added gables and pelmets to achieve a fully integrated appearance.
Integrated Power and Industrial Detailing
Raw galvanised metal-clad sockets and containment were installed, alongside satin black sockets integrated within shelving units to provide practical desk power while complementing the industrial character of the space.

These design decisions demonstrate how thoughtful office interior design in Manchester can combine usability, technical performance and visual identity in equal measure.
