AJ Retrofit Awards shortlist 2023 23.02.23

The Rowe has been shortlisted for an AJ Retrofit Award in the Workplace (£10m and over) category. The project, which has retained and extended the former Central House building that previously housed the London Metropolitan School of Art, Architecture and Design close to the Whitechapel Gallery in east London, was completed last autumn and now provides 150,000 square feet of office space with retail and public space at ground floor and improvements to the surrounding public realm. The Rowe also includes a specially commissioned artwork by Yinka Ilori which delineates the old and new elements of the building.

Organised by the Architects’ Journal, the Retrofit Awards celebrate retrofit and reuse in the built environment, and previous AHMM winners have included Television Centre and the University of Amsterdam. This year’s winners will be announced on 30 March; read more here.
