Northburgh House

Northburgh House was once a paper bag factory within the Hat and Feathers Conservation Area of Clerkenwell in London. We wanted to create a space that offered tenants an alternative environment from their private offices. To do this we defined four spaces: a smaller reception space; a high-level table for morning coffee rituals; a lounge space for relaxing, reading a magazine or casual chats; and a meeting space. All of this would create a welcoming ambience to greet people as they entered the building.
Meanwhile, we peeled back the plasterboard to reveal original timber beams and cast-iron columns and added our own historic references. A monolithic coffee point is clad in raw steel sheet, and woven rope screens reflect the weaving patterns of the paper bag machines that were once housed in the building.
