In 2007 The British Council for Offices publication featured 13 UK office buildings, one of which was TalkBack TV Productions. In 2004 the same project was judged ‘Best In Europe – Office’, one of the five best new office buildings in Europe, by an international panel of judges convened by the German architectural journal AIT. Prior to that, in 2002, the building won an RIBA Award for Architecture. The 6-storey scheme is organised around a garden creating a uniquely tranquil working environment.

In the 1990s we built our reputation on developing innovative solutions for the changing workplace. Ideas we have been able to apply to health and education projects. Michealides & Bednash was one of just 20 exemplars worldwide in Frank Duffy’s book the New Office. This led subsequently to commissions from Ogilvy and Mather and Unilever. In 2006 we were commissioned to convert the 30,000sqm Lootch factory complex in Moscow into office space for Russian developers Horus Capital; the scheme includes two new 2,500sqm office buildings and an entertainments pavilion. In 2007 Horus appointed the practice to design a 19-storey/ 50,000sqm commercial office tower, again in Moscow. In 2008 we were invited by Argent Properties to develop designs in competition for a 15,000m2 office building in Kings Cross in London.

Buschow Henley’s work in the commercial sector is internationally recognised and we have won numerous awards including an RIBA Award for Architecture, a MIPIM Future Projects Award ‘Offices’ category, a Design Council Award, Design Week ‘Workplace Environments’ Awards and a D&AD Silver Award for the Most Outstanding Design for the Workplace.

“Buschow Henley possess an unique range of skills which enables them to first understand corporate objectives and then meet these with architectural solutions. Their approach combines innovation and practicality in equal measure, with results that consistently exceeded our expectations.”
