A future-ready workplace with sustainability and well-being at its core.
Located just a short stroll away from two of London’s most renowned parks, 9 Cavendish Square offers its occupants an ideal blend of urban vibrancy and tranquil green spaces.
I was commissioned to photograph the newly refurbished exterior and complete retrofit interior. I worked with the overall design and construction team to understand how the building was reimagined with sustainability and well-being at its core.
The retrofit sets new benchmarks in environmental performance and workplace experience. Carefully considered structural changes such as new terraces at the second and fourth floors offer panoramic views of Cavendish Square and improve indoor-outdoor connections, while maintaining architectural harmony with the surrounding conservation area. Other key interventions include a green wall in the internal courtyard, end-of-journey facilities with a new cycle lift to encourage sustainable commuting, and strategic enhancements to natural daylight that are all aimed at improving air quality, mental well-being, and the overall user experience. The project embraces a circular economy approach, prioritising the reuse of materials and low-carbon construction practices.
A full upgrade of the building’s mechanical and electrical systems incorporates smart technologies, a high-efficiency heating and cooling system, and an all-electric strategy significantly reducing carbon emissions and eliminating fossil fuel usage on site. The building has been designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent certification, Well-enabled standards, NABERS 5-star energy efficiency, and Whole Carbon accreditations, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
With meticulous attention to detail and a focus on sustainable design, the building offers tenants an inspiring, flexible, and future-ready environment.
