The Drill Hall

The Drill Hall, a historic military building in Farringdon Road, London, was in dire need of restoration after sustaining significant damage during a Zeppelin raid in 1915. Our team faced the daunting task of preserving its character while modernising its functionality.

To begin, we installed a temporary steel frame and scaffold roof to protect the building and ensure safe access. This innovative solution laid the groundwork for the installation of a stunning new glazed roof, a centerpiece of the revitalised design.

Beyond the roof, the project involved a comprehensive restoration. We refreshed the external facade, added new blockwork for restrooms and a meeting room, and upgraded the building's mechanical, electrical, and public health systems.

The remaining areas were brought up to a Cat A standard, providing a blank canvas for future tenants. Throughout the project, we meticulously preserved the Drill Hall's original features, ensuring its rich history endures for generations to come.
