A major refurbishment has transformed the interior of New Broad Street House, located in a conservation area in the City of London. The building houses seven storeys of office, conference and related facilities managed by serviced office providers, Stonemartin plc.

Our immediate priority was to create a contemporary, generous and welcoming environment behind the retained late Victorian façade. The new interior is pared back and filled with light, emphasizing the accessibility and linkage of the major common parts. A white glass lift shaft accesses all floors, supplemented by a steel, stone and glass stair that links ground and lower ground floor levels. Glazed cladding maximizes light reflection and natural illumination from the newly deep-cleaned glass atrium roof and is augmented by upgraded spotlighting. The replacement of full height glazing at ground floor level with a glass balustrade re-establishes and enhances visual communication between the reception, atrium and lobby areas.
