Bloom Clerkenwell comprises 144,822 sq ft of wellness focused workspace including Ready to Work - tech-enhanced managed office space, landscaped roof terraces, an in-house gym, and amenity retail. The new office building for HB Reavis is situated over the Crossrail/Elizabeth Line station at Farringdon West and right next door to Thameslink and the Circle Line. The use of red terracotta is a reference to the adjacent transport infrastructure with the faience and aluminium giving Bloom a contemporary identity.
