At the junction where Tabernacle Street and Bonhill Road meet, you’ll find one of the sexiest buildings in London. The old-meets-new build façade is bold and full of character, just like it's Shoreditch surroundings.

Max Barney Estate wanted the team to detail out the already proposed Cat A design for the basement and ground floor by architects Piercy & Co, whilst further developing it to achieve the best result for the space. The overall scheme needed to complement the raw aesthetic of the building whilst celebrating the high ceilings, large concrete rounded columns and exposed metalwork.

    An unusually large void in the centre of the space allowed us to create something special, in the form of a very grand, floating, concrete-cast staircase. However, working with the original structure and ensuring all structural loading was correct was a challenge. Following plenty of design and development meetings, and some compromise, the result speaks for itself. The dark oak treads soften the rawness of the concrete whilst the bronze trims tie in with the key elements of the structure.

    We team wanted to push the boundaries and play with the connection between the mezzanine and the balustrade by connecting them on the front of the mezzanine rather than just sitting on top. The geometric zig-zag metal work pattern of the balustrade creates a unique and stunning feature on the staircase.
