The offices of multi award winning Code Computerlove, on Jutland Street (off Ducie Street) in Manchester, are the latest of the agency's attributes to be recognised with an award. They've scooped the Gold award for Best Interior and the Architect Chairman's Award in the Roses Design Awards, rewarding the design industry. The offices were designed by Andrew Wallace Architects in conjunction with the Code Computerlove team.
Inspired by Code's corporate identity and colour scheme, the design ensures that all 48 members of staff feel part of the Code team and work to the Code ethos. Moreover, the curvaceous interior and fluidity allow for a spatial flow that enhances co-operation, communication, creativity and visual stimulus.
According to Andrew Wallace Architects: "The fit out of the basement shell originates from Code's organisational concepts and structures. The manifestation expressed itself physically as an interior landscape that rejects the typical grid uniform pattern of the more traditional office environment in favour of extended linear group gradient fields."
The offices have already won best commercial interior at the 2007 Manchester Society of Architects (MSA) Awards and were shortlisted for a 2007 RIBA Award.
But it's not just the building that's scooping accolades. The Code team now boast more than 39 industry awards in its trophy cabinet. It has already won two awards this month, for moodboard and Bisto, in the Fresh Creative awards and topped a usability poll for the Code-designed HMV.com site.
