HYLO is the result of reconfiguration, adaption and extension of a tired 1960s building to create high quality office space with retail at ground floor on a site surrounded by conservation areas.
HYLO is a pioneering extended retrofit tall building. It reconfigures, adapts, and extends a tired run down 1960’s building creating 13 extra floors on top of the original 16 storey tower and doubling the height of its 3-storey podium by enhancing and reusing the existing RC frame, basement, and foundations. Now completed the project provides increased quality office space including affordable workspace, shared amenity facilities, landscaped terraces plus improved public realm with retail and social housing provision.
