The glazed green bricks are a real talking point and were shortlisted for the brick awards.

Exterior of a modern multi-story building, with a recently added upward extension with a brick facade, large tall windows on each floor, and slanted windows on the top floor.

This architectural fit-out London project transformed a prominent Warwick Street building into a contemporary workplace with distinctive architectural features and premium occupier amenities. Working alongside Squires & Partners, Virtus delivered a high-quality CAT A refurbishment that combined complex construction, bespoke finishes and enhanced tenant facilities.

Architectural Fit-Out London: Complex Zinc Roof Design

One of the most impressive features of this architectural fit-out London project was the zinc roof. The structure incorporated multiple angles, levels and intricate junctions, creating a technically challenging build.

However, through careful planning and precise setting out, the Virtus team delivered the roof exactly as envisioned. Our extensive experience enabled us to execute the complex detailing while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship.

As a result, the completed zinc roof became a defining architectural feature of the building.

Architectural Fit-Out London with Bespoke Brickwork

Another standout element of this architectural fit-out London scheme was the introduction of glazed green brickwork to the Warwick Street elevation. Although the feature was not included within the original scope, it created a unique external identity for the building.

Inside, white glazed brickwork continues through the reception area, creating a seamless connection between the exterior and interior spaces. Specialist brickwork cut from quarried lava rock adds texture and character throughout the entrance.

Furthermore, a poured white terrazzo floor enhances the sense of light and provides a high-quality arrival experience for occupiers and visitors alike.

CAT A Refurbishment London with Enhanced Occupier Amenities

As part of this CAT A refurbishment London project, Virtus focused on improving both functionality and user experience. We delivered new lift lobbies throughout the building, creating a refined arrival point on every floor while improving circulation and wayfinding.

In addition, we constructed contemporary WC facilities finished to a high specification. These upgrades enhance comfort and create a more attractive workplace environment for future tenants.

End-of-Journey Facilities and Workplace Wellbeing

The project also incorporated dedicated end-of-journey facilities. These amenities support sustainable travel and encourage active commuting.

By providing practical facilities for modern office users, the building now meets the expectations of today’s occupiers while supporting employee wellbeing.

Delivering a High-Quality Architectural Fit-Out London Project

Consequently, the completed workspace successfully combines architectural innovation with practical functionality. From the complex zinc roof and bespoke glazed brickwork to the upgraded lift lobbies, premium WCs and end-of-journey facilities, every detail contributes to a high-quality office environment.

The finished development demonstrates how a carefully executed architectural fit-out London project and CAT A refurbishment London scheme can transform a commercial building into a distinctive and contemporary workplace.
