77 Coleman

Built

This redevelopment reimagines and extends a large 1980s building and reconnects it back into the urban grain as well as dramatically changing its two public faces.

NEW LONDON AWARDS 2022

Shortlisted in the RETROFIT category

77 Coleman involves the comprehensive redevelopment of an existing building that fronts onto two major thoroughfares within the City of London, and demonstrates an approach to retaining and refurbishing a building rather than knocking it down and starting again. As a result, the finished building still feels new, with generous floor-ceilings and the existing structure forming part of the architectural finish. 78% of the original concrete frame has been retained, equating to around 13,200 tonnes of concrete and 3522 tonnes of embodied CO2 retained.

Vote for this project in the ‘People’s Choice Award’. The voting deadline is 1 November 2022.
