Brief
Our vision included the addition of new floors, carefully integrated into the existing framework to enhance the building’s scale and functionality. The reconfiguration of the core was pivotal in this transformation, allowing us to create Grade A office spaces that meet the dynamic needs of today’s businesses. Light now floods through the expansive windows, illuminating the innovative workspaces that foster creativity and productivity.
Every corner of this project speaks to our ethos at Hamiltons: to create spaces that resonate with purpose and distinction. The fusion of historic integrity with contemporary design not only rejuvenates the building but also re-establishes its role within the community. As we hand over these revitalised spaces, we are not just imparting a physical structure but breathing new life into an asset that will serve countless professionals for years to come.
Response
The facade, a striking interplay of solid and glass, has been meticulously crafted to achieve an optimal 50% ratio. This decision is not merely aesthetic but strategic. Our choice of low-reflective glass ensures that natural light floods the interior, creating vibrant, illuminating spaces that energise and inspire. It’s an embrace of the surrounding environment, allowing the building to breathe and connect with its context—while still maintaining a strong architectural presence.
In essence, this design is a celebration of balance. It harmonises solidity with transparency, firmly anchoring itself while inviting the world to step inside. This is not just a structure; it’s a dialogue with light and space, a beacon of modern architectural philosophy that champions both beauty and practicality. Visitors won’t simply enter; they will embark on a journey of discovery, and we are confident that our vision will resonate long after they leave.
