Three Key Issues
The front elevation of the existing building contained asbestos which redirected scheme design and challenged budgets
Net area gain by cantilevering the front facade to achieve value increase obtained by successful planning approach assisted overall development value
Selection of a high quality but minimalistic specification to suit the area in competition with other office space coming to the market has generated a design maximising floor to ceiling heights of a 1950's building
