Howells' original London office
Maltings Place
The reworked Grade II listed Sarson’s Vinegar Works complex near Tower Bridge has created an intimate mixed-use residential and office quarter. This innovative project developed a building typology where apartments and offices are interchangeable. It is a model we continue to use as a building block for new mixed-use developments throughout the UK.
A rolling programme of sensitive refurbishment and new-build included creating a glass atrium that has turned Sarson’s Main Yard into a dynamic indoor space—old brick and timber facades of the offices are connected by new steel and glass walkways. New-build wings form a gateway to the site and use London stock bricks in a contemporary manner to evoke the industrial characteristics of the local vernacular.
