2000 - 16 Chart Street

London

Chart Street is a redevelopment of an existing 1930s masonry warehouse located in Hackney. The four-story building has been repurposed and the area increased to include a new side extension, an additional storey on the roof and a new central staircase. Now complete, the building has become the new office space for our expanding practice, reflecting our approach to low-carbon structural design and our commitment to retrofit and reuse.
