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.”

Time Recruitment HQ

Select Interiors Creators + Makers were invited by old friends the ever-expanding Time Recruitment. The brief: Creating an office fit out for our new headquarters. This is the 7th office for Time Recruitment.

Overview

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. Once we agreed the extent of works, we designed the space and produced a 3D model and mood board so that the Directors could visualise the space and the proposed look & feel.

Scope of Works

Mechanical, electrical, data, HVAC, partitioning, crittall glazing, bespoke joinery, decoration, furniture, desks, storage, steel box section dividers / display and storage units. LVT flooring & carpet tiles with rug detail in Boardroom and signage

Interior Design

Every aspect of the office fit-out process was meticulously planned and executed to create a headquarters that not only meets the company’s functional needs but also inspires and energises the workforce. The result is a workspace that facilitates agile and collaborative working was well as the more formal functions of Boardroom and executive offices

Carl's thoughts

“We transformed Time Recruitment’s Manchester headquarters into a dynamic, collaborative workspace that reflects their innovative culture and enhances employee productivity.”

REWRITE: 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. 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

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.”
