VolkerFitzpatrick has completed the development of the iconic steel-framed<\/a> \u00a311.5M Bishops Square retail project<\/a>, situated near Spitalfields market, east London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed by Foster + Partners, and inspired by the East End\u2019s historic industrial warehouses, the distinctive two-storey building includes an exposed structural steel frame<\/a>, coated in dark red iron oxide, infilled by glazing, canopies and partitions to give it a modern, industrial feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller retail and food kiosks are located on the ground floor, along with an existing service ramp. The kiosks are fitted with fully glazed fronts – which provide maximum transparency to animate the street – and contain fully built-in kitchens for tenants to move into. These food kiosks are flexibly designed for multiple tenants over the course of the building\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A larger unit, on the level above, can be accessed via a double-height entrance space at one end of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Director of VolkerFitzpatrick building division, Stuart Deverill said: \u201cOur extensive experience of operating in logistically challenging and environmentally sensitive locations has been highly valuable in the construction<\/a> planning and realisation of this exciting addition to the Spitalfields streetscape. This truly is a retail showpiece at Bishops Square and plays a big part in the regeneration of Spitalfields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working on behalf of the main contractor, Elland Steel Structures fabricated<\/a>, supplied and erected<\/a> 360t of steel for the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
