Stone Mist check in to Motel One Manchester
Motel One is a hotel featuring 302 rooms within a superb city center location. Construction of the new hotel in Cross Street was completed ahead of schedule by Manchester-based contractor Russells Construction, despite the complexities of the project. The team demolished the existing 1980s building while retaining the original 19th century Victorian façade, and constructed a nine-storey new build in the heart of one of the city’s busiest areas.
Dryvit worked closely with the Architect, ISA Studio and Leach Rhodes Walker and the Design Team from Russells Construction to ensure the building maximized its potential as an architecturally prominent landmark.
The most suitable system specification was identified that could meet the requirements set out by both Building Control, Planning and the client. Building Control stipulated that chosen cladding system had to satisfy their stringent requirements for fire performance. This system also satisfied the thermal performance required for the project of .21W/m2K.
The hotel was finished with Dryvit’s Speciality finish Stonemist incorporating a Quartz Aggregate, which was approved by Manchester City’s Council Planning Department to be used alongside the retained 19th century façade of the hotel. Stonemist is a natural finish that accents the environment in subtle tones and enhances any exterior wall and incorporates special aggregates to pick up the natural sunlight reflecting the glitter and beauty of only the rarest of stones. Completed June 2017.
