Located within 100 metres of Hammersmith town centre and originally designed and constructed in 1915-16 as a garage and service depot for Ford Motor Company 184 Shepherd’s Bush Road was sensitively restored and extended in its centenary year. Three floors were added within a dramatic new diagrid glass roof, breathing new life into the Grade II listed building. 

​

The new design for the building comprises over 115,000 sqft across six floors creating a unique, high quality office space that incorporates contemporary design elements. Its history as a car showroom and garage meant its high ceilings and use of space were ideal for conversion into a 21st century office building providing a nod to the future.

 

The proposed geometry of the dome as an arch/shell structure enabled a thinner column-free structure, giving better aspect through the glazing without compromising the structural integrity of the building. It also created a shape that was coherent with the surrounding buildings and balanced out the proportions of the existing building.
