Overview
The refurbishment and extension of five buildings on London’s busy Drury Lane, creating flexible leisure, retail and hospitality space on the lower levels; commercial headquarters on the upper floors; and one floor fitted out to Cat A. This heritage-led scheme draws heavily on the building’s light industrial past and features sensitively restored original features that date from this time.
The works included heavy structural modifications including deeper basement and substructure works including piling, a new fairfaced concrete core, modifications to existing floors and addition of two new floors. New extended façades of brickwork, rainscreen cladding, curtain walling and roof scape of pitched roofs with mansards and terracing maintains a clear division between new and existing façades and roofs.
