The 70,000sqft scheme combines four buildings into a single development

Fathom Architects has completed a retrofit of four interconnected Victorian warehouses in Clerkenwell, delivering one of the largest heritage workplace projects in the area. The 70,000sqft development, now named The Waterman, is located within the Clerkenwell Green Conservation Area and consolidates the former printworks and retail buildings into a single development.

The retrofit, for developer BGO, sought to improve the net-to-gross floor area ratio, introduce additional floorspace, and deliver a new sixth floor and roof garden. The scheme also delivers improvements to the energy performance of the buildings.
