Project description

Bringing hospitality design to the office to create a unique WELL accredited workplace environment.

3DReid was commissioned by the commercial operator/developer, Bruntwwod Works, to re-imagine the workplace and communal spaces at 111 Piccadilly. The brief was to ‘make it feel like a hotel’ with the added requirement for this to be a Platinum standard WELL accredited workplace environment, the first of its kind in the UK.

111 Piccadilly is located adjacent to Piccadilly Railway Station, the building occupies a key gateway position into the city centre.

The space includes open cafe, private relaxation and open lounge areas with associated F&B facilities, meeting rooms and co-working areas and workspace.

3DReid provided Architecture and Interior design services on the redevelopment including the design of the new feature ‘gem’ entrance. The Gem is a new sculptured feature that provides a communal area for people to gather and socialise – and a new independent cafe and lounge – operated by Ancoats Coffee – adds a much needed amenity offer to the building’s vibrant coworking, community and event space.

Innovations & Added Value

Health and wellbeing is at the heart of the workspace with the installation of a ‘central nervous system’, a smart tech platform, has created the city’s most innovative workspace and uses data to enhance user experience.

The ground floor is set to become Platinum Standard WELL certified – an international building standard that takes a holistic approach to health in the built environment – with Bruntwood Works 111 Piccadilly becoming one of the first coworking spaces in Europe to achieve this accreditation.
