Sunlight House, Art Deco office building on Quay Street, Manchester, England.

The fourteen-floor Sunlight House features geometric shapes, chrome accents, and ornamental details characteristic of 1930s architectural design principles.

Manchester architect Joseph Sunlight designed and completed this Grade II listed building in 1932, during a period of architectural innovation in British cities.

The building represents the architectural preferences of post-World War I Britain, incorporating Art Deco elements that marked a departure from Victorian styles.

The structure maintains its original function as an office building while requiring special permissions from local authorities for any modifications due to its protected status.

The building's fourteen floors contain precise geometric patterns and decorative elements that demonstrate the transition between classical and modern architectural approaches.
