Wellbeing Office Tower by Simona Gerova

Project overview

Simona graduated from Manchester School of Architecture with First Class Honours. Her final year project, the Wellbeing Office Tower, explored a CLT skyscraper in Manchester designed around the health of office workers and the wider environmental impact of the building.

The project sits in a useful territory for students: office design, timber construction, workplace wellbeing and sustainability. That combination gives the work a clear reason to exist beyond a single final image.

What the CLT office tower explores

• CLT as a structural and environmental idea for tall workplace design.
• Wellbeing as a design driver, not only a workplace policy word.
• Productivity shaped through light, space, material and comfort.
• Manchester context as part of the project brief.
• A healthier workplace argument that can be explained to non-specialists.

Source and project evidence

The strongest source route for the project is the Manchester School of Architecture profile. It gives the page a cleaner project anchor while keeping the Architecture Social showcase readable.

Turn a student profile into project evidence

A student showcase works better when the project idea, brief and source route are easy to understand.

• Lead with the project, not only the person.
• Name the design problem in plain English.
• Explain the spatial and material response.
• Use a working source, gallery or PDF where one exists.

Architecture Social view

Stephen’s recruiter view is that student profiles are useful, but project clarity is what helps a reader judge potential. If the work is about timber, wellbeing and workplace design, those ideas should be visible immediately.
