The Telegraph: Space House

November 2024

“Space House’s refit is a bellwether for the modernist architecture of business.”

Following a building tour by partner Tim Gledstone and client Tyler Goodwin, journalist Helen Barrett has covered the sensitive refurbishment of “retro-cool” Grade-II listed Space House London in The Telegraph, as an example of a workspace building “making office life fashionable again.” 

Our ambitious retrofit for Seaforth has embraced “modernism as an advantage, not a hindrance” by successfully retaining, exposing and celebrating Richard Seifert’s original vision for the brutalist tower and adjacent block, located in the heart of Covent Garden. 

The implementation of new, complementary additions – including an extension, all-electric heating and cooling, and state-of-the-art amenity spaces – not only accommodates modern working environments but promotes sustainable design, as one of the first listed office buildings with a BREEAM Outstanding design.
