XYZ SOCIAL
XYZ Building, Spinningfields, Manchester
XYZ SOCIAL IS A NEW CONCEPT SOCIAL SPACE OPERATED BY ALL WORK & SOCIAL AND IS A HYBRID CO-WORK SPACE AND PIZZA, BEER AND COFFEE OFFERING.
The space provides a dynamic and animated meeting point on the ground floor of the XYZ Building in Spinningfields. The design carefully strikes a balance between a daytime meeting point and an evening eating and drinking spot.
Two separate serveries provide different options: pizza + beer and take-away café. The serveries themselves become sculptural objects in the space thanks to their curved corners and white metal corrugated bar front with white terrazzo bar top. Large bespoke shared bench tables with integrated power provide flexibility for eating and working. Likewise, bespoke tan leather booth seating provides opportunities for both work and play.
Finally, the back bar is designed to add depth and warmth to the space through an interesting display of logs for the pizza oven and products for sale. The overall material palette was selected to complement the raw feel of the existing architecture and to add warmth and interest for day and night.
