the rear, adjacent to the neighbouring offices, a single-storey
extension has been demolished and completely rebuilt to enable
a larger ground floor area. A rooftop garden, a highly desirable
element for contemporary workplaces, has also been created.
Anthony Brown, Sales & Marketing Director of BW: Workplace
Experts said:
“I’m delighted that the BW team were able to bring this period
building back to life, refurbishing the existing structure, adding
contemporary features and managing the building works in a
timely manner.”
Daniel Salako, Associate Director at CBRE said:
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank both BW and the wider
consultant team for their combined and continued efforts on
the project and I think we can all agree that following the recent
refurbishment works, Harella House is now one of the best (if not
the best) commercial office spaces on offer in Clerkenwell.”
A 94-week programme of rebuilding and structural alternations,
Harella House has been completely reinvented as a twenty-first
century workplace.
An electrical substation to the rear has been decommissioned and
relocated into the basement and ground floor, with the access
point on Gee Street.
A new reception entrance has been created on Goswell Road,
providing the main access to the building. Original features have
been restored, with exposed steel columns and brick piers on the
upper floors and sanded timber sarking boards on level 4. Also,
on this level, the roof has been completely replaced and altered to
create a mezzanine floor, with new roof slates throughout.
