Sustainable transformation of iconic London landmark<\/h2> \n

Specified for its sustainable attributes, Armourcoat\u2019s\u00a0Clay Lime Plaster<\/a> finish is used across architectural interior surfaces throughout newly opened office space, situated on the River Thames in London, SE1,\u00a0 helping to instil a contemporary organic aesthetic with minimal environmental and health impact.<\/p>\n

Designed by\u00a0bdg architecture + design<\/a>, the re-development of the former Financial Times HQ transforms the original 1980s building into a new London campus for leading marketing servive agency, WPP, its third London campus and fourth in the UK.<\/p>\n

The sustainably focused re-development of the previous site provides a range of agile spaces where WPP employees can choose how or where to work depending on the task at hand \u2013 offering a distinct place to connect, collaborate, and socialise with colleagues and co-workers. As a world leader in creative marketing services, WPP deliver transformational results for the world\u2019s biggest companies, providing a modern, integrated offer to over 100,000 employees across the globe, with the new office space demonstrating its sustainability commitments via materials with a low carbon footprint.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

Reduced carbon footprint<\/h2> \n

Located in the borough of Southwark, SE1, the project modernises the pre-existing site, reducing the future carbon footprint of the operational building via carefully considered architectural and interior design alterations.<\/p>\n

The recently opened campus site has been awarded a BREEAM Outstanding rating \u2013 placing it among just 1% of UK non-domestic buildings and only 90 refurbished buildings in London to receive this top sustainable accreditation.<\/p>\n

The prominent riverside site required a full refurbishment and retrofit of the previous empty building, originally designed and built in the late 1980s, and now providing modern, sustainable office space for over 3,000 employees<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Natural architectural aesthetic<\/h2> \n

Specified by bdg architecture + design, Armourcoat\u2019s\u00a0Clay Lime Plaster<\/a>\u00a0finish is applied to architectural surfaces across all floors of the new office site \u2013 including the reception, lift lobbies, library, cafe, and work zones.<\/p>\n

The natural matte stone inspired finish delivers natural textural interest to the office interiors interior, which complements the distinct architectural aesthetic and sustainable design intention of the retrofit project \u2013 achieving earthy surface textures with natural longevity.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
