This refurbishment project successfully transformed an existing, tired commercial office space into a high-quality Cat A specification, delivering a modernised workspace while overcoming significant logistical challenges. The works involved structural modifications, including the demolition of the existing lift shaft, reinstatement of concrete slabs, and the introduction of a new staircase.

This project was successfully delivered on time and to a high standard of quality.

This Cat A refurbishment included the installation of:

  • a new lift,
  • exposed high-level MEP services,
  • extended and fully fitted-out WC cores,
  • restored timber flooring,
  • a contemporary full-height double-glazed shopfront.

Externally:

  • the façade restored,
  • new roof covering installed,
  • a rooftop plant enclosure added,

enhancing both the appearance and functionality of the property.

This future-proofed Cat A office space, seamlessly integrates modern building services whilst preserving the architectural integrity of the building. Resulting in a high-specification workspace that meets contemporary standards and maximises long-term value for the client.

Our continued collaboration with the client and the design and construction team has resulted in a successful project.

TOILETS CORE

Warm toned wooden panelling also dominates in the toilet core, the wall on the left-hand side of the lobby entirely clad. Thanks to a detailed design and an accurate implementation all doors are entirely flush within the wall cladding with no recess or frames providing a high specification finish.

A unique feature on this wall is created by the inserts of mirror meticulously installed between the white oak veneered wall battens. An interesting linear light reflection helps to visually enlarge the narrow space of the lobby.

An explosion of materials with a refined palette of grey in the cubicle where the monochrome grey flooring compensates for the stylish terrazzo effect walling tiles and satin etch finish dark grey of the access panel balances vivid black tone of all fittings.

Coleman Street Reception/Common Parts

A visual interest 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 with different depths of batten.

The cove lighting from the ceiling provides a soft effect to define the high-class aesthetic of the wooden cladding in its entirety.  Achieved by incorporating a LED strip above the ceiling pocket, this method subtly emphasises the feature whilst also hiding the lighting system hidden.

The reception desk designed with a solid piece of marble visuallly contrasts 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. The rhythm is gradually intensified along the first flight of stairs matching the solid panelling wrapping the entire lift shaft through the building.
