Go Interiors have been working with Birmingham Development Company on their ground-breaking urban development, The Cube, a 23-storey building comprising a huge 500,000 square feet of space situated in the vibrant city centre of Birmingham. The Cube ingeniously combines leisure, living and office space and it will play a vital role in the future of Birmingham, putting the city on the map both nationally and on the international stage.
The lower levels of The Cube are dedicated to a wide variety of shops, café bars, restaurants and a spa with pool. The six storeys above this provide over 100,000 square feet of stylish office space. Above the commercial levels, nine storeys offer 244 luxury apartments, and crowning the building is the city’s first sky bar and rooftop restaurant, with panoramic views across Birmingham. Negotiations are also in place for a 50 bedroom boutique hotel.
Go Interiors have been key to the development of The Cube, having supplied specifically designed ceilings for the corridors and semi-exposed areas, a range of specialist partition materials and customised trims and lighting trough details to meet the designers’ exacting requirements. For the luxury duplex apartments, Go Interiors have supplied glazed screens perfectly suited to the contemporary feel of the build.
Brendan Dunne, Western Sales Director for Go Interiors, has overseen the Cube project since it began. He said:
‘The Cube Project has been hugely challenging for us here at Go, due to the scale and the range of the products it required, which often needed to be specially designed. Our team have worked closely with the sub-contractors to ensure that all their requirements were met and that their challenging deadlines were adhered to. The project is really coming together now and we can’t wait to see the finished result next summer. The Cube is a great example of what we at Go can achieve thanks to our industry expertise and the excellent logistics network we have in place. We are proud to have played such a key role in putting Birmingham on the map.’
