Architecture studios Buckley Gray Yeoman and White Red Architects work together on a renovation project that developed a new Heal's flagship store. The British furniture store in London is expanding with the purpose of adding new workspaces. It is redeveloped on Tottenham Court Road, which has been home to the brand for two centuries. It is now reopened with a refreshed goal to connect the group of eight buildings on the site.
Senior associate at Buckley Gray Yeoman, Nick Wharton tells Dezeen "The intention was to turn unloved service entrances into a new entrance for the refurbished building, whilst harking back to the charm of the historic streetscape. Metal roller shutters and other unsympathetic modern additions were removed and replaced with full-height glazing to create a bright and lively reception and cafe space within the old loading bays."
