Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester
for Argent Estates Ltd.

Weedon Partnership llp were appointed as Executive Architect on this prestigious development in Manchester City Centre. The project completes the fourth side of Piccadilly Gardens, with its main elevations facing north west across the public space and south east onto Portland Street. The building provides a strong enclosure to the space with a facade capable of acting as a foil to the more complex form of a new pavilion and the curvilinear geometry of the landscape.

Cut through the plan of regular rectilinear form is a diagonal slot, part void, part filled with accommodation, providing through its scale a dramatic portal to link Piccadilly Gardens with the surrounding city.

An office floorplate of 14000m² gross in total creates a significant development in the heart of Manchester. This was reflected in the building winning an RIBA award.

Contract Value - £25m
