Architect Graeme Winestone says: “This project came about
because the client was really interested in the building. The
challenge was how to bring it back to life for the busy media and
tech community in Old Street, while still respecting the building’s
Victorian past. We had the opportunity to put a real creative twist
on it. The anachronistic feel of steampunk presented itself as the
perfect way to connect the two eras.“
