Technique, 140 Goswell Road, Clerkenwell, EC1V 7DY

Description
The available ground floor space forms part of a carefully reconfigured building, offering a self-contained unit with its own private street entrance and a clear, prominent frontage. The space has been fitted with a kitchen, a boardroom, and two meeting rooms. It is partially furnished with desks and soft seating areas, while still allowing a wide range of occupiers to furnish the space to suit their requirements.

Occupiers will also benefit from being part of a 74,000 sq ft landmark office development, created from the considered transformation of two historic buildings in the heart of Clerkenwell. The scheme combines a contemporary approach to design and materials with a strong emphasis on sustainability and adaptive reuse, creating a well-balanced and modern working environment. Tenants also benefit from exceptional on-site amenities, including a rooftop terrace and a dedicated tenant lounge.

Location
Ideally nestled between the West End, the City, King’s Cross and Old Street, Clerkenwell has for centuries been one of London’s most vital and creative neighbourhoods. It has been the place for coffee shop intrigue and manufacturing innovation, craftsmanship and carousing, radical ideas and groundbreaking architecture. And still is.

It is home to Clerkenwell Green and Charterhouse Square, to the Barbican, St.John’s restaurant, Compton Restaurant, and Whitecross Street Market. It is a hub for tech and media companies, creative studios, architectural practices and design stores.

It is now being transformed as new towers rise along City Road, the influence of Silicon Roundabout spreads and the redevelopment of Smithfield Market is on the way.

Technique will become a touchstone for the area’s development – respecting its past and enhancing its future.

Specifications
Sustainability is a priority in the construction, and on-going life, of Technique. Three entirely new floors are being built using superperforming glue and cross laminated timber structural components, sourced from sustainably managed forests, rather than concrete and steel and resulting in a 43% reduction in carbon emissions.

Structural elements of the CLT addition are being prefabricated off site and assembled on site, cutting site traffic by 70%. Technique will be topped with 10,000 sq ft of green roof, increasing local biodiversity and reducing the heat island effect. All of which means that the building is set to achieve
a BREEAM Excellent sustainability rating, a rare achievement for a refurbished building.
