Jeremy Wiggins, director, gpad london ltd comments:
“The brief was to create a statement building from
the abandoned carcass of 80’s commercialism that
would be appealing to both creative tech and
financial companies. This has been achieved by
creating an open plan layout incorporating partially
exposed services, while maintaining ceiling height,
with a monochrome colour scheme to meet the
demand of future tenants’ needs.”
THE ORIGINAL 1980’S
STAIRCASE WAS RETAINED AND
REFURBISHED AND THE STAIR
BALUSTRADES HAVE BEEN
POLISHED WITH THE STRINGER
AND TRAYS PAINTED.
