This mixed-use redevelopment scheme transforms a vacant building opposite Victoria Station in London and create 15,000m2 of office, residential, and retail spaces.
The existing concrete structure is retained, but bold new articulated facades transform the building’s relationship with its strategic location. It appears to subtly transform as one moves around it, revealing a depth of facade through striking cobalt-blue folds.
The ‘fanned’ bays, along with the infill of the existing atria, considerably increase the lettable area and the light levels within a new set of highly flexible and efficient office floor plates. Ground-level retail, café, and lobby spaces enliven the streetscape.
The refurbishment of the building created a threefold increase in its gross development value.
