A vibrant and adaptable future-focused workspace in one of London’s most prestigious inner-city locations.

Holborn Viaduct is a 13-storey commercial development in the heart of the City of London, developed by Royal London Asset Management, designed by PLP Architecture, and delivered by Multiplex. Created in collaboration with its occupier, Hogan Lovells, the building provides an adaptable, modern workplace that puts occupant wellbeing, sustainability and long-term flexibility at its core.

A dedicated Wellness Wing, modern end-of-journey facilities, biodiverse terraces and communal spaces support wellbeing and encourage active ways of working. Flexible floorplates and a central atrium with interconnected staircases create an open, collaborative environment designed to adapt to changing occupational requirements.

The development responds sensitively to its historic setting, including the adjacent Grade II-listed Holborn Viaduct gatehouse. Around 33% of the existing Portland stone was salvaged and reused, while archaeological investigations with Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) uncovered significant Roman finds, including five oak coffins and the first complete Roman funerary bed ever discovered in Britain. A selection of the finds is permanently displayed within the building.

Sustainability and circular economy principles were embedded throughout delivery. The all-electric building uses heat pumps and photovoltaics alongside passive design measures and mixed-mode ventilation. Working closely with Heyne Tillett Steel and BHC, Multiplex incorporated 80 tonnes of reused structural steel, replaced around a third of cement-based products with lower-carbon alternatives, and used EAF steel and fibre-reinforced concrete to further reduce embodied carbon. The development has achieved BREEAM Outstanding, with a 92% score at design stage, and WELL Platinum (Shell & Core), with a NABERS 5-star operational energy target.
