Work begins on site at locally listed Dome House in Spitalfields
Work at Dome House has begun on-site. Located at 48 Artillery Lane in Spitalfields, this project involves the adaptive re-use of a heritage asset to create flexible and low impact new workspace.
The building has a cranked roof with a glazed lantern atop to draw in natural light. A central circular staircase sits below the lantern and a domed ceiling. A modest rooftop extension will accommodate a new staircase leading to a plant enclosure and a roof terrace, with views over Artillery Passage Conservation Area.
A key aim of the project is to improve the building’s environmental performance. The strategy is to retain as much of the original building fabric as possible, whilst upgrading key elements to improve performance.
