NoChintz designs show apartment interiors for Urban Splash’s latest innovative project
NoChintz will be handling the interior design for two show apartments to promote Urban Splash’s new Chips development in Manchester’s New Islington.
The apartments designed by noted British architect Will Alsop and supported by Manchester City Council and English Partnerships will provide 142 residential as well as commercial spaces.
Lucy Goddard who heads the Live and Work accounts at NoChintz: “This is a really prestigious project that will have a real impact on the residential property sector in Manchester and beyond. To have an association with ground breaking design and help promote it is very special for us.”
NoChintz has developed a close working relationship with Urban Splash and has worked on the Fosters Partners Budenberg Haus project and Velvet Mill in Bradford already this year.
I started working with NoChintz in the New Year, I’d first met them all together for the first time at the NoChintz Christmas party at The North Pole bar, where I’d proceeded to make the cardinal sin of getting very drunk but luckily I wasn’t the only one…
The main reason for my joining is my high-end domestic experience. We’re looking to expand NoChintz’s presence in the domestic field, obviously in Manchester and Cheshire, but also in other immediately surrounding areas and further afield. One of the most exciting projects we’re working on is our stand at The Design Weekend held at Tatton Park, 2nd – 4th May. Hopefully we’re bringing the whole gang including the Moooi horse!
It’s refreshing to hear that there is still plenty of work in the interiors field despite all the doom and gloom we’re hearing on a daily basis. There is a noticeable change in requests and preferences, but it really isn’t a bad thing. If anything, customers are rightly expecting higher value in their homes, and as a designer it’s something you have to get right. Not everyone has an unlimited budget, and it’s actually a great challenge to work with. Although if you do want to splash out big time we’ll always be happy to help!
Bespoke furniture is also being designed for several clients, and that’s my personal favourite aspect of my job. Spec’ing beautiful furniture from prestigious manufacturers like B&B Italia is obviously very enjoyable, but designing something from scratch, so they’ve got a truly unique piece that belongs to them alone, and not limited by constraints of mass-production, is so much more satisfying. We’re also looking into the development of our own NoChintz furniture, watch this space…
Nearly 200 Plasticine Morphs gathered outside the Tate Modern on London’s Southbank this Sunday! The gathering was in memory of the late Tony Hart, who sadly died in January.
“It has been raining for years now, not a day, not an hour without rain. This continual watering has had a strange effect on urban sculptures. They have started to grow like giant tropical plants, and become even more monumental. To stop this growth it has been decided to store them inside, among the hundreds of bunk beds which, night and day, recieive refugees from the rain … Turbine Hall / 2058 / London”
