Major refurbishment of a Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM) office block in Broadgate
Originally completed in 1989 the 13,600m² office space, which is less than twenty-five years old, has been completely refurbished.
New cladding has been installed at both ground and mezzanine level, using black anodised aluminium and full height glazing to provide a contemporary identity to the building.
Plant has been centralised and relocated to the roof space, where previously there was a plant room on each individual floor.
The lights within the building dim according to daylight levels - lights towards the edge of the floor plates sense the levels of daylight and dim in response.
