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.

The existing offices were dated, needed modernising and were non-compliant with building regulations and energy efficiency.
