Located at 10 Back Hill in Farringdon, the former factory with its original character is part of London’s trendy hub for digital, design and creative businesses.
The industrial building, originally constructed in 1928 for the Daily Mirror as their headquarters, is one of London’s most iconic pieces of industrial architecture that has been transformed to suit the modern day needs of the TMT (Technology, Media and Telecom) market. In addition to a two-storey roof extension and another level at lower ground, the redevelopment provides over 100,000 ft2 of workspace arranged over ten floors with 9,000 ft2 of high specification residential space across the fifth and sixth floor. The new spacious offices are designed with flexible floorplates from 2,800 ft2 to 15,000 ft2 to accommodate single or multi-occupier options.
Our Structures and Building Services teams worked closely with architects, Buckley Gray Yeoman, to deliver a design that respects the former print works industrial past, enhancing the original features rather than concealing them and transforming the existing building from D1 (higher education) to B1 (office).
