Tomorrow Location City: Manchester, UK

Tomorrow is a sustainable, low-energy, mixed-use building that provides flexible office space for the digital media, technology, and creative industries. Provided with world-class connectivity (awarded Wired ‘Platinum’ rating), the building is flexible and responsive to the changing needs of occupiers, whilst providing a fun working environment.

The office accommodation provides flexible co-working space at the ground floor and mezzanine level, with an additional six office floors above.

Chapman Taylor’s response to the brief was to challenge the conventional approach to office design, while using the BCO guidance as a framework to underpin the emerging design. The final design responds to the specific requirements of the target demographic, ‘Generation Y’, providing a fun, non-corporate environment with the flexibility to accommodate changes in the ever-evolving media and technology industry. This building leads the way in the discussion on the future of office design.

Office floors are naturally ventilated using a bespoke design which was developed by the team specifically for the Tomorrow building - including full-height opening windows and insulated vents to facilitate nighttime purge. The design is future-proofed to allow cooling systems to be installed if required for tenants with specialist technology/broadcast requirements.
