Cobden Rooms, Manchester — Glass Facade and Skyline Reflection

8 October 2019 · Manchester

The Cobden Rooms sits at the edge of Manchester city centre, its red sandstone cladding and dark granite base anchoring a wall of glass that does the more interesting work. The curtain wall reflects the wider skyline back into the frame — older civic buildings and a high-rise stacked together in the glazing, the city folded into its own surface. One building carries two versions of Manchester at once.
