This lunchtime (01 May) Tower Hamlets Town Hall received a BCO Award in the refurbished/recycled workplace category at the BCO Awards annual London awards ceremony. Soho Place was also highly commended in the commercial workplace category.
Tower Hamlets Town Hall, the new headquarters for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, encompasses the restoration of the Grade II listed former Royal London Hospital building and the addition of a new build extension. The design responds to key eras of the existing building’s development, between 1757 and 1906, utilising the architectural character inherent in each to enrich the new internal environment. The Georgian formality of the external facades has been retained, the restored brickwork creating a backdrop to the council’s activities within the new extension. The new build extension accommodates six levels of contemporary open place office accommodation. At ground level a new council chamber and associated meeting facilities form the borough’s democratic focus approached from a significant ‘local presence’ space.
Built on the arrival of Crossrail, now known as the Elizabeth line, to bolster the large-scale regeneration of Oxford Street’s eastern end, Soho Place offers a mix of uses including premium office space, retail and the first new-build West End theatre to open in 50 years. The latest iteration of a long-term research initiative between AHMM and Derwent London into the city and the workplace, the scheme seeks to be a robust, long-lasting and well-used part of the city that frames a new public space in the West End – a new place to work, visit, experience and dwell.
