Our refurbishment of 22 St John is the cover feature of Your Property Network, issue 196.
The piece follows the building from a tired Grade II listed terrace to thirteen fully fitted office suites, and looks at what a heritage remodel actually involves: what you keep, what you replace, and where the money goes when you cannot simply start again.
The short version
- A Grade II listing sets the terms. The heritage features are the asset, not an obstacle to work around.
- Services, acoustics and daylight are where a period building is usually beaten by a new one, so that is where the budget goes.
- Small suites let quickly in a city-centre location people want to walk to.
Our thanks to the Your Property Network team. The full feature is in issue 196.
