A 1930s Art Deco building restored and enhanced to provide contemporary workspaces.
The Artesian, 9 Prescot Street in London, was built in the 1930’s as a warehouse for furnishings, originally designed for and used by the Co-operative Wholesale Society. From an interior design perspective, the history of the building offered a canvas of inspiration.
The building has now been restored and enhanced to the new designs by Buckley Gray Yeoman targeting BREEAM Excellent, WiredScore Platinum, CycleScore Platinum and an EPC A Rating. As part of Artesian’s sensitive redevelopment project, Orbit Architects delivered Cat A space throughout, and designed and delivered a Cat B suite on the sixth floor, on behalf of their client, CLS Holdings. The refurbishment has retained numerous Art Deco features, which gives it a unique and imposing external character whilst providing contemporary workspaces to suit the modern-day occupier’s needs. The fitout work was completed by Corley & Woolley.
I was commissioned to photograph and capture the space planning and design of the new flexible workspace, meeting rooms, and casual breakout areas.
