A new HQ for J’adore Models - a 10-year-old, Manchester-based agency with a global high-street-to-catwalk client list, a boundary-pushing diverse reputation, 20-strong internal team and over 250 models on its books.

The existing 347 sq m Ancoats property necessitated substantial building reparations and new front- and back-of-house entrances to create a perfect interior canvas.

The core requirements were for a high-impact environment - on a par with its clients’ offices – and a space people were excited to visit and work in, enhancing wellbeing and helping recruit the best talent.

Front-of-house was to be a co-working environment, visitor meeting space and creative café with a welcoming reception, while the back-of-house had to be just as high-quality to ensure staff felt truly valued. The aesthetic was ‘spacious and relaxed with a New York loft/industrial vibe’, punctuated by natural materials and planting.

‘We're beyond happy with the results’ (Jess Ludlam, Director, J’adore Models)
