Multifunctional Foyer

Multifunctional Foyer, 2018, London, UK, Diplomatic

Started: 2017
Completed: 2018


Jordan+Bateman Architects have successfully delivered the refurbishment of the entrance atrium of a Grade II listed building along the Strand in Central London.


The design delivered a multifunctional space that extends the use of the atrium to allow presentations, exhibitions, promotions and other functions. The flexibility of the space is given by integrated audio-visual equipment, bespoke flexible joinery, concealed services and high-end finishes.


The access control system was designed to meet the stringent security requirements and external conservation restraints whilst freeing up the maximum atrium space for a variety of functions. On the internal side the access control enclosures and services are masked behind a metal fretted screen reinforcing the Client’s branding.


The design schedule and site programme were tight to suit a planned reopening of the premises by our Clients and their VIP guests. The building was kept fully operational during the works.
