The Angel Building, London

NDY was appointed to deliver the comprehensive refurbishment and extension of the Angel Building, Islington, London – a development of 25,000 m² of high quality office accommodation. The extensive refurbishment works comprised complete facade replacement, floor plate extension, an enhanced entrance/atrium area and revised cores to suit augmented toilet facilities and lift arrangements.

The project was carried out to an extremely fast programme to ensure that the refurbished offices could be available in the shortest possible timescale.

The new services solutions were selected in consideration of the client’s aspiration for a BREEAM “excellent” rating and local authority requirement for 20% reduction in CO₂ emissions using renewable technologies.

New systems were selected to provide flexibility for a number of tenant options, suited to the revised core layouts and the enhanced floor to ceiling heights.

Displacement ventilation systems were used following the introduction of an appropriately efficient new facade that resulted in acceptable loads within the occupied areas.
