THE DRAPERY
120 Edmund Street is to be sustainably refurbished, reconfigured and upwardly extended, delivering high-class modern offices.
Its design, showcasing post-war architectural merit, will be retained and its performance enhanced through a new glazing system and modern exposed ceiling soffit with underfloor servicing.
Targeting BREEAM 'Excellent', Fitwell '2', and a NABERS rating of 4, other interventions will see Edmund Street’s entrance improved with green planters, repaired stonework, new windows, a double-height reception, concierge, meeting spaces, a lift lobby and new signage.
A sensitively-designed upper extension will take the building up to 10 storeys, thus making the project commercially viable.
On Cornwall Street, a Class E retail unit will be introduced with a secondary entrance, a cycle entrance, and an enhanced vehicle ramp.
There will also be in-set winter gardens on floors 1-6 and terraces on floors 7-10, the latter totalling 6,501K SF.
End-of-journey facilities will include basement space for 11 cars & 168 cycles, a cycle station, showers, lockers, drying rooms, and hydration stations.
120 Edmund Street will ultimately provide 176,270K SF (NIA), 250,293K SF (GIA), and 264,718K SF (GEA) of floor space.
