BE have recently been working on this redevelopment scheme in the heart of Shoreditch. Our client was tasked to oversee the planning and development process of an under developed office building located near Old Street.
Prior to coming on board, previous discussions with the Council centred around demolishing the existing building, however it was recognised that a more viable and environmentally sustainable option was to retain the existing concrete frame structure and extend it horizontally (to fill the site boundary) as well as vertically (by adding two additional floors) while also undertaking a complete retrofit of the building.
In October 2016, planning permission was obtained at local level for a 26,000 sq ft office building. In November 2016, Swedish Architects, White Arkitekter, set about designing phase II of the scheme. This involved the construction of a rear side extension over the service yard and a further additional floor to provide an additional 14,000 sq ft of office space.
