Westminster
Great Portland Street is a striking office refurbishment, working with Ben Adams Architects. The redevelopment of the existing RC framed building, which is six-storeys in height plus a basement, comprises four storeys of premium office space and a pavilion on the roof which provides views over the roofscape of London. Two retail units, situated at ground floor remained open during the refurbishment work.
The office space features exposed structure and services and a number of new roof terraces. The new extension to the rear of the building is hung from the new roof structure, providing a column-free glazed façade which gives the appearance of the office having been sliced in section.
