The Bindery, 51-53 Hatton Garden, Farringdon, EC1N 8HN

Description
Within an Art Deco building of the 1930s, built on the site of a book-binding business, Dorrington and the architects Piercy & Company have created an exemplary office building. Classical building features are combined with flawless levels of comfort, outstanding attention to detail and the impeccable credentials of sustainability and wellness.

A reception area as gallery space, leads seamlessly onto a landscaped terrace. The focal point is an Eddie Roberts’ steel sculpture crafted from material salvaged from the building. This multi-use inside/outside event space is a perfect introduction to the flexibility of the building.

A new lift provides access directly onto your office floor. It also takes you to the seventh floor roof garden with its meeting rooms, exercise and relaxation areas. The views across London, to St Paul’s and beyond, are panoramic and dramatic.

The rectangular floor plate is an unbroken expanse of space with elegant timber floors, high, uncluttered ceilings and huge windows flooding the place with light and views. Heating and cooling is discretely provided from floor mounted VRF units with bespoke metal casings. The all-important natural ventilation is simply provided by the fourteen openable windows on each floor, cleverly operated by a bespoke winding mechanism.

All the timber floors are sustainably sourced (FSE rated) European Oak laid on recycled full access raised floor panels – a natural look and an efficient underfloor data and power cabling system.

At the rear, automatic gates provide bike users with access to the courtyard and from there to easy bike parking and a maintenance area, club-quality shower facilities, a drying room and plenty of lockers.
