The Langfield transforms two end-of-life office buildings into a sustainable and contemporary workplace to meet the increasing demand for modern and adaptable prime office in the Victoria area.

Nestled behind Victoria Station, The Langfield transforms two end-of-life office buildings (a former 1975 cash depository) into a sustainable workplace to meet the increasing demand for modern and adaptable prime office in the area.

Designed across 8 floors, The Langfield offers 80,000sq ft of floorplates that can be sub-divided to maximise the building’s flexibility.
The majority of the rear building structure has been retained, and all foundations will be reused. However, the structure facing Gillingham Street has been condemned, prompting the design team to carefully consider all alternative measures in the design of the structure, MEP systems, and material specifications to reduce both embodied and operational carbon in the development.

The stunning new façade design has been meticulously optimised to strike a fine balance between heat loss, heat gain, and solar comfort across all elevations of the building. This optimisation not only reduces energy consumption but also significantly enhances interior comfort levels.

The building will achieve an embodied carbon of 600kgCO2e/m2 and whole-life carbon of 950kgCO2e/m2, out-performing GLA embodied carbon targets.

The development will feature a café and a pocket park on the ground floor, both open to the public, as well as four private rooftops for office tenants. It will also have a positive impact on the broader community through urban greening and improvements to the public realm.

“Landid has a tradition of thinking differently about our buildings. The Langfield represents the next generation of our values, blending our experience & love of innovation.

The opportunities arising from retrofit-first are enormously exciting, our approach will set The Langfield apart, offering much sought after contemporary and sustainable office space in Victoria.”
