Modern services and biodiversity enhancements breathe new life into a historic office building in central London
Threefold Architects has completed a 23,000 sq.ft retrofit of 12 Little Portland Street, a Grade II listed building near Regent Street, for The Crown Estate.
The project seeks to revitalise the 1920s neo-classical office building, incorporating flexible office spaces and upgraded energy performance measures while preserving its heritage features.
The design is intended to address post-Covid workspace trends, focusing on smaller, more flexible spaces suited to hybrid working.
