Portland Stone:
Fancy Beach Whitbed
Scope of Project:
Build four additional floors above existing building, with redevelopment of existing office space.
1 Bartholomew Lane is a high quality new development in the City of London, located directly opposite the Bank of England.
Originally built around the 1930’s, the façade of a former bank was retained in the two principal frontages up to the 6th floor.
Behind this and extending above it in four further floors is a highly efficient modern office, offering multi-tenanted lettable space for twelve floors. The new higher level façades are clad in Albion’s Portland Fancy Beach Whitbed stone.
With a striking double-height main reception lobby incorporating a formal sweeping staircase to the lower ground, it’s Portland Stone flooring and walling, 1 Bartholomew Lane makes a strong corporate statement to staff, clients and visitors in every way.
This project received a BREEAM rating of Excellent, and received ‘Commended’ in the ‘New Build Modern’ category of the Natural Stone Awards 2012.
As a fourth generation family business, Albion Stone takes pride in its knowledgeable and dedicated workforce. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques, we produce Portland Stone of the highest quality while minimising our environmental impact.
