Coleman Street Reception/Common Parts

Share

A visual interest in curved shape wall in the reception area drives people through the entrance of the building. The european oak battens on it create a consistent linear texture intensified along the bottom to create a visual interest alternating different depth battens.

Its cove lighting from the ceiling provides a soft effect to define high-class aesthetic of the wooden cladding in its entirety.  Achieved by incorporating a led strip above the ceiling pocket, this method subtly emphasises battens feature while keeping the entire lighting system hidden.

The main desk accurately designed with the idea of a solid piece of marble in visual contrast with the surrounding fit out, with its stylish Carrara cladding occupies a prominent/pivotal position in the entrance area.

Top-bottom fixed veneered timber screen spanning from floor to ceiling consists of reinforced battens of various depths and heights. Their/Its rhythm is gradually intensified through/along the first stair flight till to reach/combine/match with the solid panelling wrapping the entire lift shaft through the building.

Coleman Street Façade

Share

The fully restored principal elevation to Coleman Street makes a positive contribution both to the conservation area and the street scene, with its new shop front with circles motifs taking their cue directly from the original design (as shown in historical photos.) and a new contemporary double storey mansard with standing seam zinc at the 5thfloor.

New Nun Court Facade

One of the key aspects of the scheme is the construction of a new extension on to the existing rear courtyard area.

The new facade set back from the existing elevation thus allowing the existing facade to take precedence and providing a visual break between the retained and the new extension. The type of brick used for the extension  complements the portland stone on the principal elevation (a pale grey with matching mortar) and duly contrasts dramatically with the retained brickwork of the existing building.

When the facade reaches 6th floor level there is a marked change in the treatment of the fenestration, with a spectacularl full height curtain walling.

EPC’s GET TOUGH

Share

The changes to the European Union’s Energy Performance in Building Directive (EPBD) are slipping into legislation without the usual fanfare however this far-reaching and highly influential mandate is the backbone for improving energy efficiency and will form the basis for many pieces of UK legislation.

From April 2018 Landlord’s will be unable to offer Commercial Property over 500sm with an EPC Rating of F-G for either sale or rent. Fines of upto £150,000 will be imposed on Landlord’s not complying with the legislation.

Our Client’s have achieved EPC Rating Compliance together with Premium Rents by refurbishing commercial properties such as

  • 24 Britton Street
  • Sutton Yard,
  • Spitfire Studios
  • 50 Great Sutton Street
  • 25bVyner Street
  • 54 Ayres Street and
  • Berry Street

We look forward to assisting current and future clients to get ahead of the market as it has been suggested that these properties may form up to 35% of the existing non-domestic property portfolio!
