Delivered through a modern method of construction, Manchester city centre’s new terracotta building echoes the region’s industrial heritage

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, 125 Deansgate sits at the centre of Manchester’s city centre, comprising 128,000 sq ft of workspace and retail.

An addition to one of Manchester’s oldest thoroughfares with its history of red masonry buildings, 125 Deansgate is situated opposite the Grade I listed John Rylands Library.

In-keeping with the street’s historic context, the building is wrapped in a red skin, with the bespoke terracotta echoing the region’s industrial heritage.
