Architecturally inspired by the industrial heritage of the area, Four New Bailey pays homage to its roots in Salford, Greater Manchester. Its primary structure draws inspiration from the adjacent steel bridge’s cross bracing, while ceramic spandrel panels tell the story of the region’s rich ceramic industry.

What makes Four New Bailey truly exceptional is its unique diagrid structure, showcasing a design that is both unusual and special, offering numerous structural benefits. Unlike many contemporary buildings that conceal their structures, the goal was to enhance and exhibit the diagrid structure through a thoughtfully designed façade. Designing a façade with a diagrid structure presented a set of challenges, and required an innovative approach to address thermal, structural, and weather performance considerations, whilst adhering to an efficient construction schedule and budget constraints.

Wintech collaborated with Make Architects from early concept all the way through the design and construction. This consisted of concept detailing, thermal and structural modelling, value engineering, risk assessments, façade specifications, tender reviews, laboratory testing, design audit, site surveys through to project delivery.
