Shoreditch High Street, London, E1

Description

-- Virtual Tour Available -- Derwent London's Tea Building is East London's centre for media & creative industry. After Derwent London converted it into creative workspaces and studio spaces in 2003, Tea proved an instant hit with creative and tech businesses that have since transformed the area. Today it is a flagship of East London's new economy. In a unique opportunity, a new office space has become available at Tea in the next era of the building's development. A blank canvas but retaining a strong industrial aesthetic and highly individual character. The Tea Building quickly filled with an intoxicating mix of digital startups and creative companies more than 1,500 people now work in and visit the building every day. With its revamped neighbour, the Biscuit Building, its ever-evolving community enjoy Michelin-starred food, cocktails, co-working, Soho House members' club with its rooftop swimming pool, internationally renowned art, a boutique hote all in-house. The Tea Building is one of a kind. The Tea Building's atmospheric internal street, designed by leading architects, AHMM, which leads to its main reception, is a talking point and one of its most celebrated features. Now it can be accessed from either end, thanks to the new connection to Redchurch Street its Crittall-style bespoke double doors and blackened steel finish holding true to the 1930s aesthetic. Inside, the street has been revamped to showcase more of the Tea Building's raw beauty and industrial heritage. The wonderful cobbled floor has been retained, with walls and soffits gritblasted back to their original concrete finish. Raised plinths built from recycled timber railway sleepers form relaxed new zones to meet and greet, or take a moment with a flat white from the new coffee shop. A new entrance leads directly to the Hales Gallery, encouraging an invigorating detour. The reception itself is re-imagined, a tall open-fronted steel and glass box, the central hub of the workplace. Its dark raw steel shell has a strong industrial feel, a blend of roughness and craftsmanship, preserved in wax coating. New concrete steps with hardy Durbar treads lead up to the redecorated lift lobby.
