Anomaly Architecture · City of London, United Kingdom · 2022
Projects / Built project
Two contrasting Bristol buildings, one Art Deco and one Brutalist, retrofitted as connected office-led schemes with active ground floors.
The story
Anomaly treated the neighbouring buildings as distinct pieces of architecture while joining them through a shared approach to contemporary workspace, cycle facilities, retail and a roof terrace.
At 41 Corn Street, the concrete frame and fins were repaired and clarified. At Grade II-listed Gilbert House, Portland stone, metalwork, original floors and Art Deco details were restored and paired with restrained new materials.
