    Constructed in 1930 by Frederick Gould and Giles Gilbert Scott, The Gilbert & One Lackington was originally designed as a Member’s Club. Despite its striking appearance, it was never intended for office use. After a refurbishment in 2001, the buildings remained complex and challenging to restore, with issues such as a neglected central courtyard and messy roof space. However, we believed in the power of re-use and reimagining existing structures. Our vision for The Gilbert was to transform it into a contemporary and future-proofed office space. This involved rationalising the internal organisation, creating standalone buildings focused on well-being and access to external space. By repurposing the servicing courtyard into a vibrant 'Green Heart', this significantly improved circulation and added value to the office space. Today, The Gilbert stands as a testament to our commitment to preserving its charming character while delivering grade A office space comparable to contemporary offerings.
