Description
Occupying a prominent position on The City Fringe, this office led development is one of the most complex projects delivered by British Land and architect team led by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.
The project regenerates a derelict, unsafe group of sites which had laid empty for a decade improving the streetscape and setting of the Elder Street Conservation Area. The project comprises three urban blocks with the retention of a significant number of historic buildings, creation of six new buildings and new public realm.
Rather than applying a blanket strategy the masterplan employs a building-by-building approach to the retained existing buildings using restoration, refurbishment, extension, remodelling and facade retention to breathe new life into the architecture with sensitively designed new buildings. It sets new standards for retrofit, refurbishment, and redevelopment in Central London, and acts as a blueprint for reusing building fabric, which is a necessity in the built environment industry’s approach to tackling the climate crisis.
The project goes beyond delivering commercial office space and creates a network of spaces which give amenity and allow spatial choices for people to walk, meet, sit and experience this amazing, layered and rich part of London.
