Bracken House is a Grade II* listed icon, retrofit by JRA to create a unified, contemporary workplace HQ.
JRA sensitively refurbished Grade II* listed Bracken House. The building now provides an enlarged entrance hall, new internal courtyards linking the central office space with the 1950’s wings, and a landscaped roof garden with running track. The offices have been modernised with a new energy efficient air conditioning system, state-of-the-art LED lighting and additional daylight introduced into the atrium. After an absence of almost 30 years, the Financial Times has been able to return to Bracken House as its headquarters.
