Scheme provides office space for a homelessness charity and for client’s own use

SPPARC has completed the restoration of a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse near Fitzrovia’s Charlotte Street Conservation Area. The project aims to create modern workspace across four floors for a family office, rectifying previous restoration works that compromised the building’s historical integrity.

A prominent architectural feature of the project is a hexagonal lightwell constructed from handcrafted oak beams, resembling a honeycomb design. This central element allows natural light into a dedicated social area within the modern extension, and enhancing connectivity between floors.
