Arriving through the newly landscaped square, visitors are welcomed into a generous café-style reception designed to bring people together. The building's distinctive glazed terracotta façade gives Worship Square a bold architectural identity, drawing on the character and history of Shoreditch while expressing its contemporary ambitions. Carefully composed massing and recessed upper floors respond to the surrounding streetscape, creating a confident landmark that sits comfortably within the conservation area. Together with its ambitious environmental credentials, the design demonstrates how sustainability, placemaking and workplace quality can be brought together within a single development.
Wellbeing is woven throughout the building. Cascading planting, landscaped terraces and more than 3,200 plants create a greener and more restorative environment, helping occupants feel connected to nature throughout the working day. Dedicated cycling facilities, changing areas and generous outdoor spaces encourage healthier lifestyles, while a large ninth-floor roof terrace and allotments provide opportunities to step away from the desk, meet colleagues or simply enjoy views across the city.
Sustainability underpins every aspect of Worship Square. Achieving net zero carbon in both construction and operation, the building has secured BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, EPC A, SmartScore Platinum and WiredScore Platinum certifications, with the potential to achieve a 5.5-star NABERS rating. Combined with its flexible workspace offer, exceptional occupier amenities and strong connection to the public realm, Worship Square establishes a new benchmark for sustainable workplace design in London.
