The refurbishment and two-storey extension to a 1980s concrete-framed commercial building, in Sloane Square, London to create a modern net-zero sustainable workplace. The pioneering project champions circularity and sustainable design and is one of the first commercial developments to use reclaimed steel in the UK.
The project was designed with circular economy and sustainability thinking from the start, prioritising retention over demolition, reuse, recycling and trialling innovations such as material passports, and methods of procurement and waste management.
A pioneer and exemplar for the direct reuse of structural steel in London. Over 25 tonnes of steel were reused in the construction, which has led to further research into reusing pre-1970 steel and has inspired others in the industry to go further.
