Willen House

Willen House
Our London team has secured the contract for the main works on the Willen House student accommodation project, following enabling works completed by the Special Projects team. Situated in a conservation area near Old Street, this project involves extensive refurbishment and structural alterations. The scope includes increasing the building’s height from six to eight storeys and introducing a striking new façade with high-performance windows and glass-reinforced concrete (GRC). The refurbished building will accommodate 223 bedrooms across seven floors, complemented by modern communal areas located in the basement.

Designed to achieve a BREEAM rating of Excellent, the project demonstrates our commitment to sustainable design and construction practices. The enhancement of Willen House underscores our expertise in delivering complex refurbishments in urban settings while adhering to rigorous environmental standards.
