HOK design principal David Weatherhead was quoted by The Construction Index as saying: “Our approach has reimagined a tired existing building into an exciting place of work through a development that is kind to the environment, respectful of its place while future-proofing the site,” said. “In addition, the design retains 80% of the existing structure and features a high-performance façade that will reduce operational energy use while respecting its historic context.”
Atenor UK director Eoin Conroy was quoted by Construction Enquirer as saying: “The opportunity to reposition Fleet House aligns with our mission to bring Atenor’s track-record to London and provide with it a leading-edge occupier experience which is sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and focused on user well-being.”
