The refurbishment and reconfiguration of this dated office building involved the creation of new terraces on the sixth and seventh floors, providing views towards St Pauls and the City.

We undertook the third alteration to the site, reworking a tired 1980s building which had replaced a building by Ernő Goldfinger. Our aim was to significantly reconfigure the building, whilst adding a sense of style to the facade to improve the relationship with the street, so our key moves involved rationalising the floorplate to create additional office space alongside two new terraces, comprehensively alter the facade to improve building's appearance and refurbish common spaces and the building's main entrance.

The façade was stripped back to the granite frame and modernised with new full height glazing with anodised bronze shrouds, whilst we also comprehensively refurbished the office floorplates, tightening up the core to create additional lettable area.

"This significant refurbishment project has provided us with an excellent opportunity to deliver prime office accommodation of considerable scale, in a superb location. To have attracted such a high-quality international business as Milberg London is testament to the occupier-led focus of its design and its amenities, which take into account how and where people want to work in the future."
