Our hand-crafted 1:200 model for Colloco, Manchester, shows the expressive and sculptural architectural design, which responds to the site's rich industrial heritage and local emerging developments. The façade detailing, window proportions and material selection are inspired by the characterful identity of Manchester’s St John’s neighbourhood, firmly rooting the striking blue structure within its surroundings.
The model has been hand built by our on-site modelmakers, using a combination of traditional and contemporary manufacturing techniques. In order to replicate the proposed colours and textures of the building's fabric, constructed acrylic parts were painted with three shades of blue and laser cut to show the brickwork pattern.
