A landmark fit-out for one of the world's leading law firms, spanning 340,000 square feet and £220m across 12 floors in the heart of the City of London.
Acting as Project Director and Client Representative, we held full accountability for delivery from procurement through to handover. The firm faced a hard-stop lease expiry with no programme contingency. To protect the critical path, we procured the structural enabling works as a separate, early package — allowing slab openings for the feature staircase to be formed ahead of main contractor appointment. That intervention proved decisive in achieving practical completion on time.
Levels 1 and 2 were delivered to CAT-A specification for sub-letting. Levels 3–9 provided high-performance practice floors, with a gym and Pilates studio on Level 6. Level 10 housed a flexible seminar and events suite. Level 11 was designed as a premium client meeting floor with private ante-rooms. Level 12 was dedicated to a staff restaurant, barista bar and wet bar, with terraces overlooking the Shard and St Paul's Cathedral.
The specification was uncompromising throughout — bespoke timber joinery, marble, natural and lava stone, deep-pile carpeting — delivering a building that is authoritative in character and exceptional in finish. The project achieved BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum certifications.
Delivered on programme. On budget. Without compromise.
