Project Overview

£55m two-stage D&B, eleven-storey redevelopment featuring offices and retail.

  • This project involved the transformation of the former Royal Mail offices on London’s Old Street.
  • The existing ‘E’-shaped building, fronting Old Street, Bunhill Row, and Banner Street, was stripped back to its structural frame and re-clad with new façades of glazed white bricks and coloured glazed panels.
  • The layout was reconfigured and extended to create a new pavilion along Bunhill Row. The lower levels—previously a car park and back-of-house areas—were converted into modern office spaces with access to an inner landscaped courtyard.
  • A rooftop extension, terrace, and green roofs were added, providing new green spaces and enhancing the building’s environmental performance.
