The Langfield

Nestled behind Victoria Station, The Langfield transforms two end-of-life office buildings (a former 1975 cash depository) into a sustainable workplace, addressing the growing demands for modern and adaptable prime office in the area.  With planning consent granted, the development led by Landid and Elwood Fund Management, is set to deliver a next generation, environmentally conscious building.

Designed across 8 floors, The Langfield offers 80,000sq ft of flexible floorplates, that can be sub-divided to maximise the building’s adaptability.

While the majority of the rear building structure has been retained, with all foundations being reused, the structure facing Gillingham Street has been condemned. This prompted the design team to consider alternative strategies in the design of the structure, MEP systems, and material specifications to reduce embodied and operational carbon.

The stunning new façade design has been meticulously designed to balance heat loss, heat gain, and solar comfort across all elevations of the building. This optimisation not only reduces energy consumption but also significantly enhances interior comfort levels.

The building will achieve an embodied carbon of 600kgCO2e/m2 and whole-life carbon of 950kgCO2e/m2, out-performing GLA embodied carbon targets.

The development will include a café and a pocket park at ground level, both open to the public, along with four private rooftops for office tenants. As part of its broader impact, it will promote urban greening and contribute to improvements in the public realm for the community.
