1120 - Seventy Wilson

London

This project consists of the refurbishment and extension of an existing 1980’s office building in Shoreditch London.

Key Features 

• Additional 2 storeys of office space built. Existing frame was justified to carry the load with no strengthening required to any of the structure.

• New 3 storey side extension spanning over a constrained access way.  

• Structure supported from 4 new small diameter piles to limit ground works and disruption.

• Main core retained with additional lift second core removed.

• Design limited structural work associated with core work so all existing stability systems were left in place.

• Existing and new steelwork exposed, careful design and detailing needed to meet the architectural requirements.
