A comprehensive reconfiguration enabled these previously tired 1990s offices to maximise their central London letting potential. Sonnemann Toon completely overhauled four floors of offices to provide Category A spaces suitable for a contemporary, non-corporate market. Additional lettable space was created by the introduction of a new fire strategy that enabled the removal of a secondary stair. The project takes inspiration from its Tottenham Court Road locality of furniture stores and workshops as well as its more recent reputation as a centre for radio and electronics equipment. This context informed a material palette of glass, metals, timber and leather combined with highly crafted detailing reminiscent of mid-20th century radio sets. The flexible new office spaces benefit from new lighting throughout combined with exposed soffits that increase the feeling of space. The project also included a new reception area and relocated entrance, a refurbished core and a new lift.
