Different Ways of Working

Different Ways of Working

Set in Manchester’s NOMA district, Form Workspace combines open desks, an enclosed meeting room and a smaller collaboration area. Each setting supports a different task without separating the team.

Pale ash worktops, mineral-grey floors and graphite-framed glazing give the office a clear structure. Blue-grey acoustic screens provide privacy while preserving an open, connected atmosphere.
