1 Handyside Street - Floorplans1 Handyside Street - Floorplans

With a 9m structural grid, a 1.5m planning grid and a maximum core to window depth of approximately 19m, 1 Handyside Street offers exceptional flexibility and versatility. A passive chilled beam cooling system and high 2.95m ‘open’ ceilings will keep the internal environment comfortable, light and airy – even at the maximum occupational densities of 1 person per 8.5 sq m.

While the building has been designed on the basis of the chilled beam cooling system, there is potential to have a mixed mode (naturally ventilated) system introduced on the top two floors. We would be happy to investigate this possibility with an occupant who wishes to pursue this form of cooling and ventilation.

The 3 atria keep visual linkage both across and between floors. For an occupier taking two or more floors, there is the opportunity to further link levels with additional stairs and openings in slabs.

At level 7 the offices are surrounded by more than 20,000 sq ft of deep terraces which afford spectacular views across London. More than 6,000 sq ft of terrace can be demised to occupiers while the remainder will be ‘common’ area with controlled access – which will not compromise the occupier’s occupation. These areas will be largely devoted to crop cultivation and it is our intention to have supervised access for some local schools and perhaps gardening groups to grow fruit and vegetables. We would hope that occupiers of these upper floors would also get involved in using and promoting this unique city centre facility.
