BW TRANSFORMS HISTORIC
HARELLA HOUSE IN LONDON’S
CLERKENWELL INTO HIGHLY
DESIRABLE CAT A OFFICE SPACE
BW: WORKPLACE EXPERTS HAS SENSITIVELY REFURBISHED HARELLA HOUSE
ON GOSWELL ROAD IN CLERKENWELL.
In total, six floors of lettable Cat A office space have been created
for Chait Investment Corporation, within a characterful building,
which now has three new terraced areas.
Harella House dates back to the 1930s, starting out as a garment
factory for Harella Clothing Manufacturers. This enterprising firm
was famous in its day for producing garments in a wider range
of women’s sizes. The 55,000 sq ft building has large Crittall
windows, which were intended to create natural light filled spaces
that could accommodate large items of machinery. BW managed
the erection of scaffolding to the full perimeter of the building and
a full temporary roof, enabling the original facade to be cleaned
and all existing windows to be replaced with new Crittall.
