Mustard Tree is one of Greater Manchester’s most loved and respected charities for the homeless and disadvantaged and operates from a large warehouse in the Ancoats district of the city. This building was in a dilapidated state and totally unfit for purpose. £1.65 million was raised to refurbish it and make it a great resource both for delivering their own services and providing space for other organisations to use. OMI Architects were appointed to design the upgrade which included replacing the external folding doors. The original doors were manufactured by Bolton Gate Company and despite being over sixty years old, were still operable and providing security to the perimeter of the building.
OMI specified new doors of the same type and Bolton Gate were chosen to supply and install three new Eurofold Folding Shutters to the main entrance which were in keeping with the building’s industrial past and powder coated yellow.
