Technical specification
Building Envelope
The building envelope is designed to respect its surrounding neighbours. The refacing of the principal facade (Floors G - 4) will reinstate a brick elevation to the street and replacement crittall windows which re-establish a warehouse aesthetic that was once an intrinsic characteristic of the building’s heritage. The Floor 5 envelope sees a hybrid of both existing and new elements, featuring south facing circular windows and a new steel construction that celebrates its historic character while bringing the design into modern day context. The introduction of Floor 6 features full height glazing complemented with a zinc finish, and a new 45 degree mansard on Floor 7 with full height glazing and zinc finishes.
