1 Queen Caroline Street | PENSON

Sitting at the restless heart of Hammersmith Queen Caroline Street Building is just across the street from Hammersmith Apollo, where Ziggy Stardust played his legendary final concert back in 1973. In collaboration with property developers Landid and real estate investors Brockton Capital, PENSON have created a punchy environment suitable for the dynamic vibe of Hammersmith. The rationale of the project was to explore the idea of a blank canvas and flexible workspace that allowed more personalisation for tenants.

The arrival experience at one QCS is very unique for an office building, as one of the two entrances is through the Broadway Shopping Centre, which mimics the design of offices in the Middle East that are often within the shopping malls. The glass is frosted, so once you are within the reception you don’t feel like a part of the shopping centre. Bespoke mash panelling has been used to create a feature ceiling giving more floor to ceiling height and enhancing the feel of journey upon arrival.

The most spectacular feature is a landscaped 6th floor terrace with its lovely evergreen planting and summery English lavender. When you’re up on the terrace you escape the hustle and bustle of Hammermsith round about – one of London’s most connected transport hubs with 4 underground lines and 17 bus routes.
