Shelley House

Client brief

Located in the historic heart of the City of London, the transformation of this 11,000sqm office building carefully repositions its offering to prospective tenants, by meeting the new and dynamic requirements of contemporary workplace environments.

The scheme comprises a new external facade at street level, new entrance and expanded reception area with café and lounge spaces. The refurbishment included 12 floors of CAT A office facilities, a rooftop extension and a new roof terrace.

Our scope

Vision Arch designed, supplied and installed Schuco VISS iXtra 8m span large format curtain walling to the double height reception area. The use of iXtra system allowed for the double height span without the use of any visible secondary steelwork, allowing much slimmer sight lines to the framework of the facade. 

FWS-50+ curtain walling was used for the level 11 curtain walling of the building. 

The entrance was made accessible by frameless swing doors (manual and automatic) and a tri-wing Boon Edam revolving door. 

A bespoke aluminium clad canopy was constructed including all the secondary steelwork which was required to connect the new canopy onto the existing one. The canopy also incorporated detailed LED lighting. 

Architectural aluminium pressings were designed and installed to encase existing columns.
