Benchmark workspace in Clerkenwell
General Projects appointed Whitepaper to create a market-leading office asset in the heart of Clerkenwell. The transformation of two historic structures into approximately 74,000 sq ft of high-quality office space across six storeys demonstrates a strategic fusion of adaptive reuse, sustainability and contemporary workplace design to support premium rents and strong leasing performance.
Anchored in one of London’s most desirable business districts, Technique reimagines a former gin distillery and adjacent warehouse through a sensitive, design-driven conversion that celebrates existing character while delivering modern office functionality. Rather than opting for demolition, the project retained circa 69% of the original building fabric—significantly reducing embodied carbon and construction waste—and incorporated an innovative timber extension using cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam columns to add substantial new floor area.
