76 Southbank sees the sensitive refurbishment and extension of Denys Lasdun's Grade II Listed building, transforming the 1980s office building into a flexible and generous modern workspace
76 Southbank, formerly IBM’s home, offers 300,000 sq. ft of office space along the Thames. Multiplex is refurbishing the Grade II listed building, retaining 80% of the structure for low-carbon design and BREEAM Outstanding certification. Designed by AHMM, it includes flexible workspaces, biophilic landscaping, 50,000 sq. ft of terraces, cycle facilities, and more. The project creates 1,200 jobs, boosting the local economy.
"Building for the future means honouring the past while embracing innovation – 76 Southbank embodies these aims perfectly. Innovative technologies and construction methods have been employed in order to keep carbon levels to a minimum. A significant effort has been made by the team in restoring this heritage landmark and we congratulate them for successfully reaching this milestone.”
