Read how McBains used BIM and cloud-based coordination strategies to address the unique design challenges on an intricate refurbishment and redevelopment of an office building in a dense, conservation area in London.
48-50 St John Street in Farringdon is a mid-terraced property comprised of a 1950s-fronted building that links at lower ground, ground and first floor levels to a Victorian distillery building at the rear.
McBains has been appointed to develop the brief for redeveloping the building from an existing commercial mix of different offices o a high-quality contemporary office space that encourages collaboration between a variety of tenants. The existing offices were dated, needed modernising and were non-compliant with building regulations and energy efficiency.
