Project Description
Construction of a 25-storey office building, connected to two buildings of 14 and six storeys, on London’s South Bank will combine a state-of-the-art workspace with restaurants, gardens, and a new cultural centre for production and performance. London Studios, a new 40,000 sq ft affordable space for independent artists and producers, will be central to the development.
Notably, 40% of the site will be for public use, and the entire scheme will be all-electric and fossil fuel free in line with BREEAM’s ‘Outstanding’ requirements. The £700m investment in 72 Upper Ground will provide the London Borough of Lambeth with the space needed to foster future creativity and collaboration.
Frank Filskow, lead at Make Architects said of the project: ‘This new mixed-use destination will bring together sustainable offices, open spaces, gardens, affordable workspaces, and a cultural hub, all within a campus-style complex that will bring life back to this closed-off section of the South Bank.’
