The new look Rhodesia House

Renamed 52 Princess St, the Grade II listed building has been re-designed by Buttress Fuller Alsop Williams. The work will see layers of interior additions stripped back to reveal original features like cast iron columns, timber beams, open fireplaces and original brickwork hidden for many years exposed once again.

Buttress Fuller Alsop Williams specifically designed the interior of the building to attract interest from Manchester’s expanding media and creative sectors.

Director Gavin Sorby said: “We wanted to bring the building back to life, not only in terms of usability, but also to give the interior space its own character once again.

“A listed building transformed by sympathetic architectural design often provides the character and ‘wow factor’ that an end-user client is looking to achieve from its business space.

“Such buildings provide a great compliment to the variety of accommodation available in the market.”

He added: “The potential for this Grade II listed building was always immense.

Special consideration during the design process was given to many of the hidden features we incorporated back into the space.”
