Adaptable Meeting Rooms In Manchester

Construction News Image

RLB's staff return to the office safely

I was commissioned to photograph the new Adaptable Meeting Rooms installed and designed by Optima Systems in the Manchester offices of Rider Levett Bucknall.

The idea was to provide safer workspaces for their staff as they return to the office. RLB placed a real focus on creating an office space that people felt comfortable coming

back to. The Optima Adaptable Meeting Rooms in Manchester offers a flexible office solution whilst delivering a safe working Modular AMR at RLB's Manchester Office. The multifunctional feature of the AMR creates a range of meeting spaces that promote collaborating, socialising, or private working environment. They offer attractive inner office neighbourhood, combining private meeting rooms with stylish breakout areas.

My objective was to get a range of dynamic shots of the meeting rooms and spaces with people using them. There were 2 meeting rooms and the way they where positioned meant that they also made 2 informal meeting spaces on the “outside”. I took shots from all the positions around the outside of the space showing wide angles and closer shots. There is also a great mural of King St, Manchester on one of the walls adjacent to the rooms which was great to be able to get into the shots to give it a sense of place.
