With its redbrick facades & external metal fire escapes, Manchester’s Northern Quarter (NQ) has long been an alternative NYC film location. Located in a Conservation Area & on a prominent West Corner of Stevenson’s Square, the subject site had become dilapidated & lost many of its original features. The brief was to reactivate the corner & deliver an authentic NYC Style neighborhood Diner & Takeaway to serve locals from early until late. Cutting Edge Laser Ltd were commissioned to cut the intricate column facades, work that eventually lead to the project winning the of Best International Fit-out 2017.
