​​Winner of a  limited competition to extend and refurbish this existing office building just off Golden Square.

 

The design greatly improves the ground floor presence of the building, creating a compact new office reception and a restaurant unit in the lower floors.

 

An extra floor was added to the building constructed from pre-fabricated CLT, creating a dramatic double-height office space with new mezzanine floor and angled rooflights.

​

The aesthetic of the whitewashed timber is also carried down through the common parts with the office doors, and the WC and reception cladding.

'a classic fit-out that is respectful of historical areas of the building...a project that manages to make the most of a difficult site and draw as much out of the spaces as possible'

'the skill required to sculpt, extend and enhance this constrained building won the judges over’.
