6 Broad Street Place, London6 Broad Street Place comprises the re-development of an existing building in the City of London; directly opposite Liverpool Street Station, the property is in the heart of London’s financial centre. The seven-storey building (with single-storey basement) fills its unusual quadrant footprint; it has a curved front aspect to the street frontage, party walls on two sides and a light-well courtyard to the rear. It was the first historic building in the City that was subject to the Building Regulations that came into force in April 2002. Although the existing building is not listed, it is situated within a conservation area. The existing stone façade was retained while the rest of the building was completely demolished, its retention presented many challenges during the design and documentation stages. An element of archaeology was required pre and post-demolition, which was carried out in conjunction with the Museum of London. Meanwhile, Ridge liaised closely with the Local Authority and Conservation Officer in order to achieve compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations whilst maintaining the integrity. The multi discipline service provided by Ridge included all interior design proposals. The new internal layout provides six levels of open-plan office space, specifically designed to provide flexible occupancy, and in accordance with the latest requirements for Grade A offices in the City of London. The retail facilities on the ground floor were provided to the tenants as shell and core accommodation, whilst the basement level designed to allow for the installation of all services required for a restaurant. |
