One of Manchester’s most iconic buildings, 111 Piccadilly, has been redesigned to create a modern workplace which seamlessly blends the old with the new. The building has been transformed with Interface’s World Woven collection. The range puts a modern twist on timeless classics like Scottish tweed, to help create spaces with a sense of heritage. Linear Tweed helps create definition and direction, while a variety of colourways have been used to distinguish each of the individual spaces. These include Natural Tweed, Charcoal Tweed and Black Tweed. Elsewhere, World Woven Mod Café adds further accents to the flooring.

When a branch of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) moved in to share the existing office of Ashfield District Council, the space needed a refurbishment to facilitate an efficient co-working space. The design was crucial to create zones for each organisation, while still maintaining an open plan layout. The flooring was a key aspect of this and global modular flooring manufacturer, Interface, provided a range of its latest products to create a striking design. The space was redesigned using Interface’s modular carpet tiles and its more recently launched luxury vinyl tile (LVT) range

Libraries are at the heart of any university, but transforming them from cold and sometimes uninviting spaces into inspiring, interactive zones can be a real challenge. This was certainly the case when The University of Huddersfield decided to refurbish its library, which covers four storeys and over three thousand square meters. The university turned to alumni and Interface Concept Designer, Donna Dent, to create a multi-functional space encompassing break out areas, meeting rooms and quiet study areas. It was essential that the renovation provided an environment which fostered both creativity and concentration.

Interface has supported Lancaster University in the refurbishment of its existing library building. The global modular flooring manufacturer helped to meet a complex brief that called for a combination of striking design with ambitious sustainability targets. As student requirements change over the years, the library needs to accommodate new ways of working – and to house 40,000 students. The library also needed a more fluid design to connect the two distinct spaces. The University wanted to give the space a complete overhaul, merging traditional library services with areas for interactive and informal learning - as well as private study.

The Clerici Building redevelopment involved taking the former main entrance building and transforming it into a hub for teaching and learning. Interface’s Human Nature range has been used across the Sir Kenneth Wheare Hall to help create a flexible, beautifully designed space which can be used for a number of activities. These products are ideally suited to the main auditorium, which is both a high traffic walkway and a light and airy space which links the hall and the building’s Gateway or main entrance. Interface’s Composure range helps to reinforce the structural link between these two spaces.

With its mission to deliver lunch, dinner and drinks in a modern, fun and exciting setting, restaurant chain Prezzo has chosen the luxury vinyl tile collection, Level SetTM Inspired by earthy elements, Interface’s Level SetTM collection features products with both textured and natural finishes. The collection is made up of two ranges – Woodgrains and Stones – to replicate the natural world and bring contemporary spaces to life. The wood-inspired skinny planks and stone-like tiles are not only a perfect alternative to real timber and stone, but they also use integrated Sound ChoiceTM backing for superior acoustic performance.

Rolls-Royce is one of the most famous names in engineering. Despite being established over 100 years ago, the company is on the cutting-edge of technologies that deliver clean and safe solutions to meet our planet’s vital power needs. Creating a perfect balance between the company’s heritage and its role as a global innovator was the challenge presented to modular flooring manufacturer, Interface, when helping to redesign its Data Experts Office in Derby.
