Our award-winning refurbishment, upgrade and extension of York House has transformed the 1980s building into a contemporary co-working space achieving BREEAM Excellent.
Set back from Pentonville Road, the existing business centre had an uncommitted, foreboding presence. Its complex façade and small windows gave it an opaque, unwelcoming appearance and an inhospitable, poorly lit interior.
We were appointed by The Office Group to give York House a new lease of life. The first move was to design an elegant extension structure that signals the new entrance. Constructed from brick, the interlaced structural facade filters the daylight in and emits a warm glow at night, a feature that is generous to both users and passers-by.
Apertures interrupt this lattice structure, encouraging views up and down the street from the new spaces above the entrance. The resulting intervention is delightful at the street level, with welcome pocket parks on either side.
In the entrance space, the old has been stripped away to the bare structure and the resulting scar left raw, with the exposed floor slabs retained as theatrical balconies at first floor level. Throughout the interiors, interventions echo the existing building’s colour palette and character. The resulting atmosphere feels calm, controlled and embedded.
