We have been appointed by Royal London Asset Management to deliver two boutique fit outs to Victorian warehouse buildings in Covent Garden: 50 Floral Street and 9-12 Bow Street.
The buildings, sitting adjacent to each other, will undergo a Cat A Plus fit out to transform them into high-quality office spaces with open-plan layouts, communal areas and end-of-trip facilities in the basements.
The team will refresh and repair the exposed brickwork within both buildings and retain the exposed roof trusses, and heritage details will be celebrated.
Floral Street will receive extensive façade works and new windows on the upper levels. Many existing windows will be repurposed as mirrored features in the walled archways of the reception area, with a few incorporating LED lighting to create a striking design element. The team will also transform the fourth-floor outdoor space into a stylish roof terrace.
Bow Street will retain its exposed columns, feature a unique vaulted ceiling on the top floor, and receive refreshed windows throughout.
Ryan Cleanthi, Collins Construction Divisional Director, said: Located opposite the Royal Opera House in the centre of Covent Garden, Bow Street and Floral Street are ideally placed for on-trend office space. The team will bring out the best elements of these historic buildings to create spaces for tenants who want to be in the very heart of the West End. We look forward to working with our new client and demonstrating our fit out expertise, underpinned by our knowledge of historic structures across the city.
Lucinda Carpenter MRICS, Assistant Development Manager Royal London Asset Management, said: We are excited to be collaborating with Collins Construction on the transformation of these buildings; blending heritage character with contemporary design and delivering inspiring and functional workplaces. Sustainability and energy performance improvements are also a key focus, to futureproof and meet the needs of future occupiers. We look forward to seeing this vision come to life and to a successful partnership with the Collins team.
