Network Building

Located in London’s Knowledge Quarter along Tottenham Court Road, the Network Building builds upon its context of scientific and knowledge-based organisations and architectural heritage of iconic buildings, such as the Heal’s building.

Designed as a highly sustainable and flexible office-led scheme, the building provides an improved public realm at the ground level through extensive landscaping, widened pavements and seating incorporated into the architecture.

The 139,000 sq ft scheme comprises 134,000 sq ft of flexible offices and 5,000 sqft of retail with communal and private terraces featuring extensive landscaped areas and a generous double-height reception. It is made up of three volumes: a base with active frontages for new retail and a street-facing work lounge; a middle volume of workspace; and an upper-level pavilion with terraces and green-roof areas around the perimeter of the building.

Designed with a highly flexible floorplate system to accommodate different types of future use, the Network Building is a net-zero carbon development that will utilise an all-electric strategy with electricity from renewable sources, low energy cooling and renewables. The façade features a sculptural repeating module that will be fabricated off-site to ensure minimal material wastage. Blue roofs and rain gardens provide rainwater harvesting and flood management.

Network has achieved a Platinum SmartScore certification. A global standard for smart buildings recognising exceptional user experiences, cost efficiency, high standards of sustainability and future-readiness.
