Set in the heart of the City of London, 123 Cannon Street is the transformation of a Grade II listed, late Victorian building into 30 contemporary serviced apartments.
Originally built in 1895, the building's richly detailed red brick and terracotta façade reflects a remarkable architectural history. Following years of vacancy and alteration, the project presents an opportunity to breathe new life into this historic landmark, balancing its architectural heritage with the demands of contemporary city living.
Studio 8FOLD has played a key role in design management & procurement, technical coordination and is leading the interior design. The project navigates the complexities of adapting a listed building within one of London's most constrained urban settings, surrounded by historic architecture, transport infrastructure and active utilities.
The result is a considered approach to adaptive reuse, bringing together heritage, contemporary design and a renewed purpose for a building at the heart of the City.
