Two St Peter's Square, Office building in St Peter's Square, Manchester, England
Two St Peter's Square is a modern office building in Manchester consisting of eleven stories with a glass and stone facade featuring a complex lattice pattern. The structure includes floor-to-ceiling windows offering views across the city center, along with retail spaces and underground parking facilities.
The building replaced Century House in its 2017 development, a 1934 Art Deco structure featuring ornate carvings and a relief sculpture of George Fox. This transformation marked a shift between Manchester's historical and contemporary city landscape.
The building draws inspiration from local Gothic architecture through its decorative screen patterns and incorporates symbols of the Lancaster Rose throughout its design. These design choices connect the modern structure to Manchester's architectural heritage.
The site is easily accessible on foot from nearby streets and offers good transport connections to the city center. The retail areas are open during standard business hours, and underground parking is available for visitors arriving by car.
The building received BREEAM Excellent certification through efficient material usage and the reuse of demolition waste from the previous site. This approach shows how modern construction can combine sustainability with urban development.
