WORKING
No. 1 Carey Lane, London Repositioning an existing commercial building within London’s competitive office market required more than a cosmetic upgrade. The refurbishment of No.1 Carey Lane focused on creating a welcoming arrival experience, modernising shared facilities and delivering flexible, high-quality office accommodation capable of attracting a diverse range of future tenants. The reception was reimagined as a bright, contemporary entrance, establishing a strong first impression and setting the design language for the wider refurbishment. CAT A refurbishments to the third and fifth floors created adaptable office space, while the fifth-floor roof terrace was remodelled with bronze detailing that complemented the new material palette throughout the building. The project also included the refurbishment of the building cores, lift lobbies and WCs, alongside the replacement and reconfiguration of the mechanical and electrical services. Careful coordination was required to integrate full air conditioning within restricted service zones while preserving valuable floor-to-ceiling heights, resulting in a contemporary workplace that enhances both occupier experience and long-term commercial appeal.
