We partnered with LABS to deliver one of the largest and most impressive flexible workspaces in London. The new 150,000 sq. ft. office, spanning four of the seven floors in the iconic Victoria House, is modern, flexible and fit for the future.

LABS’s most audacious venture yet

At the start of 2020, we were appointed to build LABS’s most audacious venture yet – a complicated design requiring complex engineering. Working in partnership with LABS’s design team, we transformed the Grade II listed building, Victoria House, into a state-of-the-art flexible workspace suitable for teams of all sizes. The iconic space is located in London’s Knowledge Quarter, just a two-minute walk from Holborn station.

We were delighted to be selected as LABS’s contracting partner on this project. To see all our collaborative efforts and hard work pay off is absolutely incredible.

Creating an adaptable space

We began the first phase of the project for LABS in London in late January 2021, starting with a full CAT A & B refurbishment of the fourth and fifth floors (62,000 sq. ft.). In March, COVID-19 hit, which challenged LABS to re-evaluate what their members might need in the new climate. Flexibility was key: creating an open-plan space that could adapt and evolve to suit market demands and their members’ bespoke requirements.

Some enterprise clients had already bought spaces, so it was imperative we ensured these offices matched their layout requirements and were delivered on time, safely.

A delicate transformation of a Grade II listed building

Transforming a Grade II listed building is a complicated project, so it was critical our processes were robust. Working with a precise design in an imprecise building meant we needed to be extremely particular about the materials and products we used, working in accordance with heritage requirements.

LABS’s incredible design team added a modern layer to the space, respectfully complimenting the historical landmark’s timeless architecture.
