Case study:
120 Moorgate, London. EC2M
120 Moorgate, London. EC2M
The transformation of tired 1970s architecture into a modern dynamic office development, for occupation by WeWork.
The existing building façades were removed, and slab edges reconfigured to allow the installation of a feature pre-cast stone façade with curtain walling infills. The office space was extended at roof level and new external terrace areas created.
At ground floor level, an existing bank was relocated to another part of the development and the large sub-terrain levels transformed into a gym and plant space. Other retail shells were also created to the South Place and Moorgate frontages.
Internally the building was fully serviced to Cat B standard for WeWork.
