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.

Want to gain environmental credits or need planning advice for your next project?

We worked with Encon Associates in order to conduct daylight modeling and secure some points for LEED and BREEAM certification – the services were conducted in a very professional manner, in time and with an affordable budget.

They were responsive with regards to our special requests related to additional paper work, required for a taxation Russian agency. Overall, my experience with the consultancy had been very positive. I would not hesitate to purchase their services again and I would recommend Encon Associates to our partners and clients.
