Ilona Rose House, London WC2

“The one with the 3D printed façade.” Ilona Rose House London WC2 Client — Soho EstatesArea — 31,000sqm Construction Budget — £100m (Shell and Core)Use — Mixed UseStatus — On–siteIlona Rose House is a new-build mixed-use project spread over 13 floors, including 4 below ground. The project is currently on site and includes lots of highly decorative, bespoke, pre-cast concrete façade panels (clipped on to a standard unitised curtain wall system of course!) – for which we’ve printed many of the pre-production moulds ourselves, in Leicester Square. A quarter of the 4-storey basement is naturally lit - and will be the new home for Warner Brother’s European Postproduction Studios - including a double height, tiered, 60-seat sound editing theatre. On the upper floors we’ve been able to create over 14,000sqft of south-west facing terraces, the hanging gardens of Soho if you like, which will provide external amenity space for every single level of office. More than a sixth of the (nearly) 1-acre site is given over to public spaces – which are lined with restaurants, cafes, shops and a nightclub to create a lively and generous new destination within Soho. ︎The frontage to Charing Cross Road and Crossrail. ︎The frontage to James Court and Soho. ︎The elevation to Charing Cross Road. ︎The corner where Charing Cross Road meets Manette Street. ︎Nearly a sixth of the site is new public realm. ︎The view west along Manette Street. ︎Looking north to The House of St Barnabas from James Court. ︎Looking south into James Court. ︎Looking east into James Court. ︎Naturally lit basement office space. ︎Site timelapse - up to July 2019 ︎ All projects Next project  ︎
