Boon Edam UK was proud to contribute to the landmark No.1 St Michael’s development in Manchester, a joint venture between Relentless Developments and global investment firm KKR. Delivered by contractor Bowmer & Kirkland, the scheme offers 185,000 sq. ft of Grade A office space, a vibrant public realm, and a rooftop restaurant with panoramic city views. To complement the building’s high-spec design and sustainability credentials—including BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum—Boon Edam installed Tourniket revolving doors and Signature Speedlane Swing gates. These entrance solutions were selected for their seamless integration with the building’s architecture and their ability to provide secure, efficient, and intuitive access for occupants and visitors, enhancing both the aesthetic and user experience of this transformative city-centre development.

SOLUTION.
To meet the demanding design and performance standards of No.1 St Michael’s, Boon Edam UK developed a tailored entrance solution that combined architectural elegance with operational efficiency. The Tourniket revolving doors were chosen for their ability to maintain climate control and significantly reduce energy loss—key factors in achieving the building’s sustainability targets. Their sleek design seamlessly complements the fully glazed façade, ensuring the entrance enhances both the building’s visual impact and its environmental performance.

RESULTS.
The collaboration between Boon Edam UK, Bowmer & Kirkland, façade specialist Walsin, and the wider project team has delivered a landmark development that sets a new benchmark for commercial spaces in Manchester. The entrance strategy plays a pivotal role in achieving this vision—combining security, efficiency, and design harmony to create a seamless experience from street to workspace.

By reducing energy loss, supporting sustainability targets, and ensuring intuitive, inclusive access, the integrated entrance systems contribute directly to the building’s BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, and NABERS 5-Star ambitions. For tenants and visitors, the result is more than just an entry point—it’s a statement of quality and innovation.
