WARWICK STREET
Squire and Partners has extensively re-modelled an existing
1980’s building to create a vibrant development that maintains
its previous office and retail uses, but makes a more meaningful
connection with the surrounding Soho Conservation Area by
creating a contemporary crafted design.
High quality office and retail spaces are provided within the
existing building structure behind a new facade, while a new top
floor is expressed as an irregular folded mansard.
The new facade establishes a rational frame of glazed Umbra
Sawtooth bricks with stone spandrels, animated with vertical
bands featuring ‘woven’ green tiles that pay tribute to the area’s
textile history, and relate to the glazed tiles which define the
surrounding streets.
A series of full height glazed bays at ground floor create impactful
retail units, while a canopied entrance marks the office reception.
