A fantastic tour of YY London with The London Society & guests today! The tour, lead by Associate Director Adam Whitlock Wood & Head of Sustainability Rachael Owens, focused on our innovative approach to sustainable redevelopment - from our 'retain and reuse' strategy saving 10,260 tonnes of carbon, to highlight a series of “re-greening” initiatives, such as green roofs & terraces on each floor and a serene communal rooftop garden, which blends nature with city life while enhancing biodiversity. OneMountain Media were on hand to capture all the best bits! Stay tuned for some amazing footage showcasing this remarkable project's journey Special thanks to Quadrant and Knight Frank Promise, for their support in bringing this together. There will be another tour date announced soon for later in the year - keep your eyes peeled over at www.londonsociety.org.uk 👀 #BGY #YYLondon #CanaryWharf #Architecture #Sustainability #WorkplaceDesign #RegreeningLondon

Today we had the pleasure of attending the launch of Fritz Hansen's exquisite 'Monolit' collection - a masterclass in Danish design, featuring an intimate conversation with acclaimed designer Cecilie Manz. Thank you FRITZ HANSEN for hosting us at such an inspiring event 🤍 Over a wonderful lunch, Cecilie shared insights into her design philosophy and creative process. Her thoughtful approach to materiality and form, paired with Fritz Hansen's dedication to timeless design, creates something truly exceptional. The Monolit collection perfectly embodies this vision - striking an impeccable balance between form and function, while showcasing extraordinary materiality and craftsmanship. Speaking of... watch this space! 👀 We're so happy to have been able to incorporate these beauties into an exciting new project, launching later this year! #InteriorDesign #DesignExcellence #FritzHansen #DanishDesign #CecilieManz #Furniture #DesignInspiration #LondonDesign #BGY

The Billiards Building (formerly known as 134 Edmund Street), a recently refurbished commercial building in the heart of Birmingham’s CBD, has been selected as a Finalist for the British Council for Offices (BCO) Regional Awards 2025 in Best Refurbishment Project category. The Billiards Building is Birmingham’s first listed net zero office building, comprising 123,000 sqft (NIA) of office space. Extensively refurbished to become all-electric, the building’s environmental performance has been significantly improved, achieving an EPC rating of A and net zero in construction. The project prioritised retaining much of the existing structure, making targeted interventions only where necessary. Features such as low-energy lighting and provisions for electric cars ensure its future-readiness. The refurbished building has an equivalent energy use intensity representing a 67% reduction in energy usage, which will reduce its carbon emissions by 52% annually—the equivalent of taking 93 petrol cars off the road. Enhancements include a striking triple-height atrium, modernised office floors, and exceptional amenities such as a commuter suite, gym, wellness hub, café, and business lounge. A communal terrace on the ninth floor offers level access for all tenants. This project perfectly balances historical conservation with sustainability and functionality. Congratulations to everyone involved, and good luck at the awards! Client: Grosvenor Photography: Matt Chisnall #BCOAwards2025 #Refurbishment #Birmingham #SustainableDesign #Architecture

We recently joined Simten and BAM UK & Ireland on a fascinating visit to Albion Stone plc to select the stone cladding for 20 Giltspur Street, a new commercial development in the City of London. It was great to come away with a deeper understanding of the processes behind this timeless material — from quarrying to craftsmanship. Portland stone, remains a bridge to our shared architectural past, and a sustainable future, and continues to be a defining feature of our work. From 77 Coleman Street to 42 Berners Street and 25 Cannon Street, it has played a vital role in creating distinctive architecture that stands the test of time. We’re excited to see how this material will shape the identity of 20 Giltspur Street while continuing our commitment to creating spaces that celebrate both history and innovation. #Architecture #PortlandStone #Sustainability #CityOfLondon #BuckleyGrayYeoman
