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.

New life into an dated façade

Striped 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.

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outdated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”.
