New London Architecture

Study Tour: The Featherstone Building

Tour

Tuesday 02 May 2023
08:30 - 10:00

Join Morris+Company for a study tour of the Featherstone Building, the latest development in the heart of Old Street.
Located on City Road, the Featherstone Building is a 126,500 sq ft industrial-inspired workspace with a contemporary finish. The new, ten-storey workplace building draws on the local area’s industrial heritage with its brick facade, exposed concrete ceilings and generous windows to echo the architecture of Victorian warehouses. 
 
Featherstone opens onto the tree canopies of Bunhill Fields, with sweeping views across the city at roof level. Its architecture is permeated by texture, openness and adaptability, all of which are combined with the mechanical and electrical aspects of Derwent’s first new intelligent building. As a contemporary workplace for a changing city, Featherstone showcases a building that is robust and flexible to ensure its continued use well into the future, as London’s Victorian building stock has proven to date. 
 
Join us to hear more from David Storring, Director at Morris+Company, as they walk through the office space of the future. 
 
Please note this is an in-person event and with a maximum capacity of 30 therefore tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with a maximum of two tickets per organisation.
