Victoria House
This Grade ll listed 10-storey building was originally the headquarters of an insurance company. It has grand marble-lined entrances and staircases, and the offices have substantial floor to ceiling heights.
Victoria House has been re-developed as modern air-conditioned speculative offices. The remodelling incorporates glazed atria with suspended conference pods. The pods needed bespoke self-contained services and lighting was modelled to assess the effect of the pods in the atria. All the services were designed to be sensitively integrated into the listed building.
