Creative Refurbishment on the Culture Mile

HUT have submitted planning for the refurbishment of a mixed use building in the City of London near Smithfield Market. Located adjacent to the new Farringdon East Crossrail Station, the scheme sits within the 'Culture Mile' and will cater to creative small-medium enterprises. Ground floor cafe space with maximised glazing will bring activity to the street scene. 15,000sqft of flexible office space includes two new extensions clad in profiled aluminium, referencing the zig-zag rhythm of the existing facade along Hayne Street. The scheme is a testbed for the client's new net zero carbon policy and employs energy-efficient servicing, natural ventilation and urban greening to roof terraces as well as exceeding requirements for commuter facilities.
