Pure College Stockport

We were inspired by the wonderful students and staff at Pure Innovations

Pure College Stockport

Pure College Stockport, located in Stockport, is a transformative educational space designed to meet the needs of students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). At Select Interiors, we were inspired by the wonderful students and staff at Pure Innovations and worked closely with them to design an environment that is both functional and inspiring.

The Challenge

Designing within a compact 2,500 sqft footprint posed a unique challenge. However, our team of commercial interior designers in Manchester rose to the occasion. The space required a balance of functionality and flexibility, so we created three classrooms, a breakout space, kitchen area, lounge, staff room, informal meeting space with banquette seating and an office, all within this limited area.

The formal meeting space features Crittall glazing and slim-line sliding screens, providing an elegant yet functional touch.

Scope of Works

Full demolition of existing finishes, ceilings and commercial kitchen.
Acoustic partitions, lighting, mechanical and electrical installations, and data connections.
New sanitaryware, bespoke cubicles, and washroom fit-out.
Luxury vinyl and carpet tile flooring.
Acoustic and fire-rated partitions, custom joinery, and bespoke signage.
Acoustic cladding to ensure noise reduction.
Programme duration: 10 weeks, completion & handover.

Interior Design

As with all of our education fit-out projects in Manchester, creating a space that meets the unique needs of the staff and students is paramount. This conversion for serial developer Nigel Rawlings, CEO of Rise Homes & Pure College, presented several challenges, including:

Drainage Issues: The drainage system did not suit the build, so we implemented a solution by breaking out the fire barrier ceilings in the basement and installing a new drainage system complete with fire collars and rodding access.
Noise Transfer: Due to the compact design of the classroom, managing noise transfer and disturbance was crucial. We upgraded the partitions with 15mm Soundbloc, added attenuation into the mechanical system, installed acoustic glazing, and incorporated drop-down acoustic bars with batwing acoustic seals to doors and frames.

The Fit-Out Process

The design process for Pure College Stockport began with a detailed site survey. We then worked closely with the client (Pure College) and the developer to produce 2D CAD layouts, revising them as the design evolved. All drawings were submitted to building control for approval, and we managed the process to completion certificate stage.

Carl's thoughts

“At Pure College Stockport, we delivered a thoughtful transformation, blending functionality with sensory design to create a supportive and inspiring space for students with SEND."

Manchester’s Finest

on 2023-09-06 2026-01-27

Manchester's Finest

Manchester’s Finest is one of the city’s leading social media, creative content and marketing agencies. Based in the heart of the Northern Quarter, the business required an office environment that reflected its bold branding, creative culture and fast-paced way of working.

Location:

Northern Quarter, Manchester

Office

Manchester's Finest

Select Interiors was proud to be appointed as the office fit-out contractors to deliver a full Cat B office fit-out within The Old Post Office on Newton Street, Manchester. Working closely with the landlord and design team, we transformed a shell space into a striking, functional office tailored specifically for a modern creative agency.

The Challenge

The project began as a landlord-led shell and core refurbishment. The brief was to create a highly functional office fit-out while working within the constraints of a heritage building and limited structural load capacity.

One of the key challenges was introducing additional floor space without overloading the existing slab. This required a bespoke structural solution, alongside careful coordination between our commercial interior designers, mechanical contractor and electrical contractor to ensure performance, safety and compliance.

The build and refurbishment phase was completed in just 12 weeks, setting the foundation for a tailored office interior design that aligned with Manchester’s Finest’s brand and working style.

Scope of Works

As a specialist in commercial fit out Manchester projects, Select Interiors delivered a comprehensive package of works, including:

Demolition and enabling works
Underfloor heating and thick structural insulation
Bespoke lightweight mezzanine floors designed to minimise structural load
Toughened glass balustrades to maximise light flow
Acoustic partitioning and structural works
Bespoke staircases and custom joinery throughout
Kitchens and breakout spaces
Galvanised steel profiled ceilings
Full lighting design, data and power distribution
Coordination of mechanical and electrical installations

This office refurbishment brought together performance, aesthetics and durability, resulting in a space that supports both creative collaboration and focused work.

Office Interior Design

The office interior design was reimagined by Sam Tucker and delivered by Select Interiors as a complete Cat B fit-out. The design balances industrial elements with refined detailing, reflecting both the character of the building and the energy of the brand.

Key considerations included:

Structural Constraints: Lightweight mezzanine floors were engineered specifically to work within the building’s limited load capacity while increasing usable floor area.
Acoustic Performance: Acoustic partitions were introduced to control sound without compromising openness or natural light.
Brand & Identity: The space was designed to complement Manchester’s Finest’s visual identity, with materials and finishes that support future branding services and content creation.

As experienced office fit-out contractors in Manchester, we ensured every detail aligned with the client’s operational needs and long-term growth.

The Fit-Out Process

Our process began with a detailed site survey and coordination with the landlord team. We then worked closely with the designers and client to deliver a fully integrated commercial office fit-out.

All works were carefully managed on site, with close collaboration between our mechanical contractor, electrical contractor and specialist trades. The result is a high-quality office refurbishment delivered efficiently, safely and to a consistently high standard.

Carl's thoughts

“At Manchester’s Finest, we reimagined a heritage property into a vibrant office environment, delivering bespoke mezzanines and a tailored Cat B fit-out that reflects the agency’s creative culture.”

Levitt Bernstein Architects

The reception fit out design by Architects Tim Groom Associates and Youth Studio embodies a profound respect and understanding of the differing relationships between the materials / palette. Aluminium, steel, masonry, brickwork, reclaimed and new Oak, marble, soft wool boucle & woven fabrics.

Interior Design

We reused and remodelled and moved the bespoke joinery we had manufactured and fitted out their previous offices.

We installed raw galvanised metal clad sockets and containment with sating Black sockets installed within fitted shelving units to distribute power to desks as the unit did not have computer access flooring.

Orcha Office Design

on 2022-12-19 2025-09-22

Orcha Health

This was an office design project for Orcha for their new UK headquarters in Manchester.

Location:

Warrington

Sector:

Office

Date:

August 2022

Orcha Health

The brief was to create a combination hybrid and agile activity-based workspace for their core team. The focus was to accommodate as many flexible working areas as possible within the footprint. We worked collaboratively with the Orcha senior team to develop their basic layout drawing to a working scheme using CAD, 3D, and Revit modelling.

Overview

We had the luxury of having plenty of space available, and were able to incorporate an expansion plan to accommodate extra staff who typically work from home, when they require workspace back in the office.

Scope of Works

The scope of works included full design drawings, submission to building control, mechanical, air conditioning, electrical, acoustic partitions, acoustic glass and aluminium screens, bespoke concertina opening doors, kitchens, joinery, data, lighting, desks, furniture, and storage.

We were able to incorporate so much into the space including; a boardroom/formal meeting area for 18, which had the flexibility to open out and accommodate 24 for larger meetings and conferences. A small creative office for 6 with a circular table and scribble walls. A quiet calls space with 3 phone booths. An informal open plan meeting/planning space with soft seating. High table collaborative areas, desks for 32 staff. A bespoke bleacher seating presentation and staff development area for 48 people and a café/breakout area and an informal reception.

Interior Design

The design used a pastel palette, which incorporated a core 9 soft tone colours on the walls and in the fabrics used on the bespoke seating. The floor finishes reflected the ‘resimercial’ theme using large format acoustic warm concrete and oversized Wharfside Ash in the breakout/café. Carpet tiles from Tarkett in 3 colours blended into each other across the floorplate. Junction strips were formed into radii to soften the geometry. Finishing touches included natural waxed oak cladding, bespoke signage and plenty of planting. and formal meeting space with Crittall glazing and slim-line sliding screens.

The Office Fit Out

The design, layout, and features of Orcha’s new office design represent a really successful collaboration between Orcha and ourselves. The design palette, scope of works and incorporation of flexible working areas into the office space were all well-executed, creating a modern and functional workspace.

Carl's thoughts

“Our fit-out for Orcha Health integrated sensory design principles, creating a workspace that stimulates touch, sight, and sound to boost employee engagement and productivity.”

VuFold

The entrance is visually striking, clean, and open. It’s open vista and set out displays channel clients around the space and showroom products. The displays are designed to provide a snapshot of the total range with each section designed to appeal to client’s often varied requirements. The space is inviting and communicates the brand’s identity through subtle signage, logo and sales literature. There are islands of different products from glazed lanterns to Aluminium windows and doors

Location:

Macclesfield

Sector:

Retail

Date:

April 2024

VuFold

The project for VuFold in Macclesfield was for a retail fit out and Cat B fit out of the core shell. Part way through the completion of the build the main contractor went into administration, and we undertook the completion of the Cat A shell works including: Dry lining, screed, plaster finishes, electrical, mechanical, ventilation, partitioning, joinery to enable us to start the fit out

Overview

Design Concept and Inspiration: was the building’s distinctive architecture, featuring a triangular jutting steel cladding detail with an external balcony. The internal space was angled like a squeezed trapezium and the roof to 1st floor was pitched into the gable. The unique footprint and angled soffits added to the building’s architectural appeal in conjunction with the extensive display of products made the internal design & fit out an exciting jigsaw puzzle and poser for our team of Creators + Makers. The finishes were carefully selected, use of an earthy palette and natural timber, fabrics, wool boucle, and rugs to give an organic backdrop to the main show, the Products

Scope of Works

This commercial interior design project’s scope encompassed both Cat A (basic building finishes) and Cat B (interior fit-out) works. Bespoke joinery, partitions, lighting, mechanical, sanitaryware, flooring, decoration, bespoke displays, signage and wayfinding

Interior Design

VuFold founders John, Elizabeth & Rick Collins’s mission is to service B to C, with their own manufacturing facilities and extensive supply chain to service both Trade and Retail clients with internal and external doors and windows.

The range and scope of their offering is displayed in the new showroom as illustrated. The design was led by and considered the customer journey, it required a strategic and thoughtful approach to layout, ambiance, and client interaction with products.

Customer Journey Phases

1. Awareness: The customer is drawn in by the showroom’s design and visual appeal. 2. Exploration: They begin to explore different zones based on product displays and interaction points. 3. Engagement: The customer interacts with products, tests features, open the doors / windows. 4. Decision Making: As they move through, they start comparing products or asking questions to sales staff.

At the exit is a lounge style soft seating, ambient lighting, and customer consultation area with sales literature and soon to be a film reel on wall mounted screens. The film will illustrate the whole process from enquiry to site visit, then the manufacturing process through to the install team with satisfied clients and a happy handshake!

Carl's thoughts

“We transformed Vufold’s Macclesfield showroom into a dynamic, immersive space that showcases their premium door and window products, enhancing customer experience and brand presence.”
