Bishop Square, Lamb Street
A vibrant new retail and commercial space in Spitalfields, Lamb Street Building blends modern design with historic influences.
Value
The project represents roughly 2,350m² of new-build commercial and retail space in a prominent location adjacent the historic Spitalfields Market in Central London.
Originally designed by Foster + Partners, Bond Bryan were appointed by VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd to deliver the scheme on site through RIBA Stages 4 to 7.
Impact
The implementation of a double-sided retail street brings the northern side of the development to life – creating 360 degrees of interest around the site for all to enjoy. The Lamb Street North accomodation is spread over 2 floors, with the ground floor consisting of 9 small kiosks for A1 retail, except for one unit which houses an electrical sub-station.
As a standalone building, Lamb Street North has the potential to be a unique architectural landmark. Taking influence from the outer perimeter of the site, Horner Buildings and Spitalfields, a red palette was selected for the finish.
Sustainability
Our technical expertise played a crucial role in delivering the Lamb Street Building with a strong focus on sustainability. The choice of exposed steel and glass façades not only contributes to the building’s aesthetic appeal but also optimises energy efficiency. The detailed coordination of mechanical and electrical services ensured that utilities were discreetly integrated, preserving the building’s clean, transparent look.
The design incorporated sustainable materials and processes, from energy efficient glazing to the use of steel finishes that are both durable and easy to maintain. Through these sustainable practices, the project offers long term benefits while contributing to a more energy efficient urban landscape.
