Summary

Norton Folgate: where heritage inspires creativity

Description

Designed by Stirling Prize winning architect Stanton Williams, Elder Yard and Studios offer 74,100 sq ft of office and 8,200 sq ft of retail space. The sensitive refurbishment and redevelopment of the original warehouse façade delivers a delightful contrast between the old and new – and flexible floorplates provide the opportunity for occupiers to flex and grow within Norton Folgate.

Location

Norton Folgate is a special place. The mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings, set around historic cobbled courtyards and quiet streets, feels a world away from the City but is only a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, Broadgate, Spitalfields Market, Brick Lane and Shoreditch.

Elder Yard & Studios forms part of this 340,000 sq ft mixed use development which is made up of eight buildings ranging in size from 10,000 to 120,000 sq ft. Four architects have worked together on the project: AHMM, Stanton Williams, Morris + Company and DSDHA, with the aim of making sure the character and variety of the place is captured in the architecture of the new buildings.
