Asia House, Manchester, Edwardian Baroque warehouse in Princess Street, Manchester, England.
Asia House features a trapezoidal plan with two connected blocks rising six stories high, constructed of pink-brown sandstone, brick, and marble facades.
The warehouse, built between 1906 and 1909 for Refuge Assurance Company, initially housed the Oxford Packing Company along with 36 shipping merchants.
The entrance hall and stairwell contain decorative elements including veined marble walls and Art Nouveau stained glass windows depicting tree patterns.
The building includes a double basement now serving as parking facilities, with the upper floors converted into residential apartments in 2003.
The structure utilized inert gas lighting throughout its spaces and employed hydraulic hoists to transport orders between floors and the basement packing rooms.
