Make Architects

Construction has started on site at 72 Upper Ground, the former ITV headquarters located on London’s South Bank. In collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. and CO-⁠RE London, we've designed a mixed-use scheme combining retail, restaurants and workplace with a new cultural centre at its heart. The project will transform the 2.5-acre site to provide a high-quality, strategic workplace destination in Central London. It represents a £700 million investment in the UK by Mitsubishi Estate, supporting over 4,000 jobs and delivering essential employment in Lambeth in step with the wider UK growth agenda. Completion is targeted for 2029. 🔗Read the full write-up: https://lnkd.in/e5UEwEm7

In the Central Hall at 40 Leadenhall, repurposed gas pipes and the grand Grade II-listed Billiter Building stand as testaments to the site's rich heritage. Its careful restoration preserves this historical provenance while seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art sustainability and world-class amenities. "This is what the modern workforce seeks and aspires to have," says Josh Lamb, Director at Savills. Watch as Josh shares insights on how 40 Leadenhall masterfully blends history with sustainable innovation.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗼 𝘂𝗽. 40 Leadenhall is one of the largest projects ever to receive planning permission in the City of London – able to accommodate 10,000 workers. When you’re delivering a massive building on a constrained city centre site, there’s no room for error. Its MEP services were assembled not once, but three times, resolving any issues well before the physical installation. First virtually in a single digital model that was co-created by the whole project team and included all of our structural engineering too. Then almost all of the plant was prefabricated, assembled and tested, before being transported to site for installation. https://lnkd.in/eG5z6W8v #WSPProjects #MEP #StructuralEngineering WSP in the UK

[1/4] The Power of Spontaneous Interactions 🔍 Are we designing workplaces for what people really need? As highlighted in Financial Times / The Irish Times by Anjli Raval, the office of the future must support collaboration and spontaneous interactions—things virtual environments struggle to replicate, as noted by Gianpiero Petriglieri. But what if virtual mediums could actually help foster creativity and community across geographies? This is exactly what my colleagues and I at Make Architects, Environmental Psychology Research Group, University of Surrey, ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences are researching. Would love to hear your thoughts! 👇 Financial Times article: https://lnkd.in/d-egsU4U (paywall) Irish Times article: https://lnkd.in/d-7EjtAG (accessible) #FutureOfWork #WorkplaceStrategy #Collaboration #WorkplaceDesign #SpontaneousInteractions The Verge, Iain Shorthose, Tim Hamilton, Alex Heath (Photo by Make Architects)
