Southworks by SPPARC

Ed Reeve

Smart office scheme Southworks in central London, which has been named as “the smartest office in the world,” has now completed.

Resilient London: confronting climate change

Southworks includes 70,000 sq ft of Grade A commercial office space spanning

over seven floors. It’s architecture is inspired by a warehouse aesthetic, with

concrete columns, large factory-style windows and a feature double height

entrance portal formed from hand crafted Italian glass bricks — the first glass

brick facade in the UK. The highest standard of wellbeing is achieved through

a combination of natural elements, such as natural light, fresh air through the

openable windows and the latest technology. Technology monitors density, inside

and outside air quality and noise levels.
