The Aircraft Factory is a building with an extraordinary past. We were inspired by its story and set out to give the building a new identity while celebrating its industrial heritage.
Originally home to a furniture business established in 1903, the West London factory was transformed during the First World War to manufacture aircraft, later becoming the Alliance Aeroplane Company.
We delivered a design and build solution for the Cat A refurbishment, working alongside the client and agents to rebrand the building, strengthen its campus feel and improve the approach and first impressions. The scheme included a refreshed reception, landscaped grounds with dedicated cycling and parking areas, and flexible demise configurations designed to appeal to a broad range of future tenants.
From strip-out through to completion, regular design workshops, mock-ups, technical reviews and cost meetings kept the project moving, allowing us to carefully strip back and recreate the factory for its next chapter.

We use Vimeo to embed videos on our site. When a video is loaded, Vimeo sets cookies that are necessary for secure playback and to prevent abuse (like bot traffic). These are considered essential for the video to work properly. We also use a setting (dnt=1) that disables Vimeo’s own analytics and tracking features.
If you visit a page containing a Vimeo video and you are logged in to your Vimeo account or if you’ve visited the Vimeo website before our website, Vimeo may use cookies to keep you logged in, for analytics and advertising purposes, and collect data linked to your Vimeo account which we cannot control.
