THE POINTE STUDIO
Transforming a music venue in the Northern Quarter into a ballet school for children
Site Location: Manchester, United Kingdom
This project transforms an existing building from a music venue to a ballet school for children. This retrofit project reuses existing materials while giving the spaces another function.
FCBS Carbon shows that the building’s embodied carbon over its lifecycle is up to the 2025 standard, and working towards the RIBA 2030 challenge. As this project reuses a lot of the existing concrete, the pie chart shows that the structure has a larger distribution of embodied carbon. Materials used for the new spaces are mainly timber to compromise the embodied carbon in the existing structure.
