Alphabeta will
transform the landmark Triton Court building on Finsbury Square into a major new creative
workspace. Finsbury Square is located between
Shoreditch ‘Tech City’ and the ‘City’, London’s financial district. As such,
Alphabeta is set to become the new centre for London’s most progressive and
challenging companies.
The development, which is set over nine
storeys and 20,000 m2 of usable space, will provide a dynamic shared atrium
space, communal roof-terrace, ‘ride-in’ cycle ramp direct from Worship Street,
and embraces current and future working methods to provide a platform for
creative work with vibrant communal spaces.
The
building’s original period features are to be restored and celebrated but the
fabric and services are to be fully updated throughout with exposed wall
finishes and ducting to ensure high ceiling levels.
The internal route from Finsbury Square
is to be enlarged to create a striking purple glass hall that emphasises
arrival into the glazed atrium. Clad in charred timber, mild steel and a series
of projecting glass planes that distort the conventions of office glazing, the
atrium walls provide an innovative pixelated relief across the eight-storey
height. This rhythm is accentuated by a series of cantilevered glazed meeting
rooms that project into the atrium at various levels, creating an exciting
vertical section towards the vast glazed roof light.

A new entrance will be created on
Worship Street, which includes a dramatic ramp that allows cyclists to enter
the building without dismounting, leading them to changing rooms and cycle
storage at basement level. This feature can also be seen from the atrium,
adding fast movement to the rich visual mix.
Unlike
most office basements, this level also includes an events space, gym and squash
court. New office space at high level opens onto roof terraces that offer
impressive views over the City. Terraces are to be decked, furnished and
planted to provide tenants with unrivaled external spaces.
