10 Market Road
A fashionable new core
01 Introduction
Old printworks into fashion head quarters
DLA worked closely with Morgan Capital to reimagine this old printworks into a 45,000 sq ft new London office headquarters for a fashion/media occupier through the redevelopment of 6-10 Market Road, originally constructed in 1989.
02 Project Narrative
Breathing new life into a dated façade
10 Market Road transforms a former 1980s printworks into a contemporary London headquarters for a leading fashion and media brand. Retaining its original brick character while introducing light-filled, efficient new elevations, the project redefines the building’s identity for a new era of creative workspace.
03 Approach to Design
Stripped back to frame
The building was stripped back to frame whilst retaining the original London stock brick facade which faces Market Road. The new façades increase daylight and provide full height views to every elevation. The new elevations were designed to be as efficient as possible and minimise material wastage.

04 Passionate about Delivery
Core fully reconfigured
The main circulation core areas were fully reconfigured, making the building fully accessible from the repositioned entrance / reception as well as giving level access to the terraces. A bike lift has been added to provide seamless connection to the extensive bike and shower facilities within the lower ground floor.
"We are again extremely impressed with DLA’s ability to re-imagine tired and outdated assets with their retrofit approach as well as, in this case, developing a design aesthetic that suited the incoming tenant”.
