Key Challenges

  • Increasing massing of the site, whilst retaining the existing façade and maintaining the site’s heritage design in keeping with the Albert Embankment Conservation Area
  • Ensuring that while the proposal was heritage-led, the design optimised the building’s potential and put user well-being at its heart
  • Substantially improving the building’s energy performance and achieving well over biodiversity net gain targets
