Leading property company British Land plans to redevelop Euston Tower with a sustainable blend of retention, reuse, and an ultra-low carbon structure. The project will create a modern, net-zero workspace, including world-class lab-enabled spaces in London’s Knowledge Quarter.

Leading the design are award-winning Danish architecture practice 3XN who have recently worked with British Land on Broadgate’s iconic 2FA. They are supported by London-based architecture and landscape studio DSDHA who re-designed much of Broadgate’s public realm, including Exchange Square. The team have drawn up designs which would retain elements of the original tower, including the foundations, basement and core, while transforming the building and surrounding area into a welcoming, accessible and creative new space. Leveraging British Land’s expertise in creating inclusive external spaces across its campuses, proposals for a new and improved public realm include large areas of greening and a space for events, while also providing opportunities for people to dwell and relax.

Inform Design was appointed to assist the Architects with early-stage façade assessments with regard to solar control performance for the Euston Tower.
