The Project

A Thoughtful, Low-Carbon Refurbishment in the Heart of London.

Set against the monastic backdrop of Clerkenwell, the redevelopment of 42 St John’s Street breathes new life into a distinctive office building. With a design ethos built around the idea of “long-life, loose fit” workspaces, the refurbishment focuses on minimising energy use, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing internal comfort.

This multi-tenant space now benefits from significant fabric upgrades, improved daylight, and modern exposed features like ribbed slab ceilings and polished concrete columns, all contributing to a more inspiring, efficient, and environmentally conscious workplace.
