York Street is a corporate office space for businesses to hire out in the centre of Manchester. The office is designed to create a welcoming work environment for all occupiers, increasing productivity and work satisfaction. The office has many amenities from showers, co-working spaces, event spaces and even a rooftop terrace so there is plenty for workers to enjoy.  

As a multi-functional working space, they needed to create a shelter for their rooftop terrace which enabled occupants to enjoy the outdoors in any weather condition. External spaces and fresh air are essential to de-stressing and maintaining a good work ethic, so installing a retractable roof was an excellent solution.  

They chose to integrate a retractable louvre roof with frame as an extension to the building, adding a modern touch to their outdoor space. This louvre roof can be opened or closed depending on the weather, maximising its use throughout the year. With a retractable louvre roof, you can also tilt the panelled roof to create shade during the warmer months of the year. Whether workers at York Street want to escape from their work desks for 5 minutes and gather some fresh air, or they want to move their workstation outside, the retractable louvre roof allows for all possibilities.   

The retractable roof was integrated with LED lighting which helps to increase visibility when the sun goes down, whilst also creating ambience. You can add other features to your retractable roof including heating systems or vertical glass screens which help to create a comfortable and warm setting, especially during the colder months.   

The choice to install a retractable louvre roof at York Street Manchester clearly helped to adapt to this modern working environment, increasing productivity all year round.
