The building, constructed in the 1960s, displayed many of the issues associated with structures of its age and type: the external palette of brick, concrete, render and metal-framed windows felt dated; the common parts felt underwhelming and lacked presence, and the office floors had low floor-to-ceiling heights and dated finishes.
We saw an opportunity to remodel this unloved building as a more forward-thinking workspace which is sustainable in its performance and takes full advantage of the relative tranquility of its setting.
