Grafonola: A Victorian Warehouse Reimagined
Nestled on Clerkenwell Road, Grafonola stands as a testament to the seamless blend of history and modernity, offering a contemporary and sophisticated workspace. This exceptional edifice, rich in original features and character, has undergone a meticulous Category A restoration, redevelopment, and refurbishment. Designed with the future in mind, our client's goal was to achieve Net Carbon Zero, ensuring that Grafonola not only retains its historic charm, but also embraces sustainable practices.
Tenant well-being has been paramount in our design philosophy. The building offers dedicated and secure storage for bicycles, personal locker spaces, and a drying room, all tailored to support the health and comfort of our future occupants.
Grafonola’s walls are steeped in musical history, having once echoed with the sounds of some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. Famous composers and artists immortalised their work within these walls, under the auspices of Columbia Music. Our once-in-a-century renovation seeks to create a space that continues to inspire and resonate, welcoming a new generation to make its mark.
Spanning from the Lower Ground, Ground to the 5th floors, and capped with an extraordinary rooftop terrace, Grafonola offers panoramic views of the City of London. With a total area of 17,600 Ft², this landmark building presents an unparalleled headquarters (HQ) opportunity for an occupier aiming for a high-profile presence in the heart of Farringdon / Clerkenwell.
Discover a space where heritage meets innovation, in a building that not only sings of its past but also projects a future of sustainability and excellence. Grafonola is not just a workspace; it's a place where legacy and vision converge.
