FIT-OUT UNDER WAY
PARTIAL REFURBISHMENT FOR MODERN BUILDING

Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London

We are working on a category A fit-out and partial office refurbishment for Senator House that includes four office floors, all toilets and the reception. For the reception, we are opening up the space and making a newly-commissioned large-scale mobile sculpture the focal point — we are working closely with installation artist Wells Small. Senator House dates from 1991 and was designed by Chapman Taylor Architects. RHWL was commissioned by Quinlan Private Capital in November 2007. Fit-out started in July and is estimated to be complete by the end of the year.
