The renovation of two warehouse buildings in London Bridge using reused and recycled materials
The two warehouses are just a two minute walk from London Bridge station. The spaces are perfectly located but were feeling tired and were not being let as a result.
One building, a four storey Victorian warehouse with a lower ground floor level and many original features, the other a three storey 1950’s brick and steel building, both with their own charm that needed to be brought to the surface.
Working iteratively with the client and contractor on site
We worked closely alongside our client Lake Estates, and with the build team. Repurposing what we found as we found it. Together with this we used recycled, low carbon and reused materials throughout. Making sure to express the wonders of the original warehouse buildings whenever possible, whilst bringing the buildings up to the latest standards.
Creating a flexible design for a changing market
We created flexible and simple layouts, harnessing the good proportions of the buildings to make spaces that can be tailored to different needs. Today occupied by a single tenant but equally adjustable to be split into a number of tenants by floor or even as a mix of co-working and more fixed tenant space.
Prioritising person centred design
We prioritised thinking about how to be different, to make spaces that people want to hang out in - to enjoy, to socialise. Responding to a challenging office market to create something that stands out for its flexibility, practicality and human-centred design.
