The Skipper Building

Internally, the workspaces have been designed to fit tenants who typically work in the area, with small hives of desks or lounge-like areas. The office space, as a whole, provides ample room for informal conversations, collaboration and the sharing of ideas; which extends externally into the landscaped roof garden. The renovations also include a fully BREEAM-compliant cycle centre facility in the basement, utilising previously under-used storage and plant areas and encouraging tenants to use more carbon friendly means of transportation.

The character of the four historic buildings is varied and derives from its many detailed industrial, commercial, and residential buildings of the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Internally, the neutral palette of materials takes cues from the historic brick walls and lets the activity of the user come into relief.
