We thoroughly enjoyed collaborating on Timber Wharf with the brilliant Claire Brooker, interior designer at Chalkspace, and the excellent Ferrious, who supplied the gorgeous furniture and implemented the project.

Timber Wharf is the Urban Splash development in Castlefield, Manchester, and our client, Clear Law Solicitors, purchased five units here for their new workspace in the city.

We designed the outdoor terrace which overlooks the Bridgewater Canal, and had a brief to provide an attractive and contemporary place for staff to enjoy.

We worked closely with Claire Brooker to get the palette of furniture and colours just right, so that internally and externally worked seamlessly and to create striking views out on to the terrace from within.

The loose chairs on the terrace and in the office are Vegetal designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. Positioned chairs on the terrace are Little Albert designed by Ron Arad. The round tables are the Container Table and Container Stools by Moooi, and all the planters, inside and out, are by Vondom.

Planting was based on a strong green palette using the texture of multi-stem birch trees, ferns, grasses and ground cover planting layered with spring and autumn bulbs. Internally planting included a variety of succulents and palms.
