An exceptional new workplace at the heart of Shoreditch Works, the Verso Building’s design adds to the complexity and richness of the conservation area to increase density without overwhelming the historic neighbourhood.
The Verso Building’s workspaces were designed with flexibility at their core, featuring a range of unit sizes, specifications, and rental price points to accommodate different business types and growth stages.
In response to the site’s prominent position within London’s tech cluster, Shoreditch Works increases density through strategic additions that respect the surrounding roofline and urban grain. The stepped rooftops of the Verso Building ensure the scheme integrates with neighbouring properties, while roof gardens provide outdoor amenity space and improve biodiversity.
Two passageways run through the building, informed by desire lines and the existing urban grain. These create new pedestrian routes and open the heart of the site to the public. On the ground floor, the Urban Room forms a key part of the affordable workspace offer across Shoreditch Works. With large, bi-fold panels, it can be used as an event space or opened to become an extension of the public realm.
