The project involves a 2-phase redevelopment of a BREEAM ‘excellent’-graded block of offices on Cambridge Heath Road in Bethnal Green. A whole life carbon approach to design significantly reduces both embodied and operational carbon. 

Refurbishment and extension of a Victorian landmark in the heart of London’s Clerkenwell.

Conservation and refurbishment of the 40,000 sq ft Grade II-listed warehouse create a major mixed-use development. Key measures include the atrium flowing into the new extension, bringing light in, sensitive fabric improvements, thermal mass, and passive heating. Rated BREEAM ‘Excellent'.

A prime example of Victorian architecture, the 150-year-old Farmiloe Building in Clerkenwell—formerly home to lead and glass merchants George Farmiloe & Sons—is central to London’s trade heritage. Its robust warehouse floors, once the strongest in London, extend from a glazed atrium showcasing distinctive interiors with exposed wrought-iron beams, aged paintwork, panelled offices, hoists, and safes.A prime example of Victorian architecture, the 150-year-old Farmiloe Building in Clerkenwell—formerly home to lead and glass merchants George Farmiloe & Sons—is central to London’s trade heritage.

The project achieved a 40% reduction in carbon emissions compared to Part L standards and earned a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

Skelly & Couch enhanced the thermal fabric within listing constraints, while imaginative use of space expands the stunning atrium into the new extension bringing light deep into the building. The extension also benefits from thermal mass, including exposed slab soffits.Air ducts cast into the slab feed perimeter fan coil units for passive heating and cooling. A highly efficient environmental system has been implemented, incorporating extensive heat recovery and thermal stores with phase-change materials. Heat and coolth recovered from chillers and rooftop free cooling are stored and reused, significantly reducing overall energy consumption.

Following the refurbishment’s success, Skelly & Couch was commissioned to fit out concert ticket giant Live Nation’s new headquarters at the Farmiloe. The environmentally responsive design delivers high-spec loft-style offices with built-in flexibility to meet future operational needs.

Building on the resounding success of UP Projects’ pilot Floating Cinema 2011 project, Morris + Company won the Open Architecture Competition to design the next phase of the acclaimed venture, conceived to offer a permanent lifespan on the water.

Skelly & Couch was appointed for Phase 2 of the ongoing renewal of the Gascoigne East estate in Barking, East London.

Skelly & Couch is contributing robust environmental engineering to all 16 buildings of a new and pioneering creative hub on the Greenwich Peninsula. The Peninsula is London's largest single regeneration project. 

This project is a pair of linked schemes in Brentford, west London catering for the demolition of the former Brentford Police station and its related housing section. In place, the new site will feature the redevelopment of the Watermans Art Centre and also the creation of nearly three hundred homes.

The project involved the full refurbishment of all public parts of the BREEAM ‘Very Good’-rated Hall for Cornwall and the creation of a new multi-layered auditorium, which reveals the stunning historic fabric of the building to maintain its core cultural purpose to entertain.

High House Artists' Studios is a new-build development of affordable artists' studios as part of High House Production Park in Purfleet, Essex.

Hoxton Hall is a Grade II*-listed and very rare surviving Victorian music hall located on bustling Hoxton Street in East London. The building is used as a community arts centre.

Founded in 1975 inside a former Wesleyan Methodist church, Grade II-listed Jacksons Lane Arts Centre has played a key role in the development of London’s fringe and community theatre. The latest project upgrades technical and visitor facilities within the complex, which features a 166-capacity theatre, large-scale studio and café-bar, all of which were in need of repair.
