The Honey Building

The proposed masterplan places the main BREAAM ‘Excellent’ rated 9-storey office building on the primary frontage facing the widened Eden Street.

The Honey Building will have a strong architectural identity, with the form of the building continuing the curved profile of Eden Street. This will have a 2-storey recessed lower element with a 4-storey footprint above. The double set back on levels 6 and 8 provides amenity terraces whilst allowing the massing to respect local views.

The Hive Building

The Hive Building is a second complementary office building will front Brook Street, set back on the top floor providing further amenity space. The two offices are fully integrated and designed for long term flexibility. At ground level, the joint entrance off Brook Street creates a grand and welcoming approach whilst defining the main reception area. This will also reinforce the new public realm being created nearby. A connecting bridge at sixth floor level will create a seamless transition internally to the proposed social and communal spaces located on the sixth floor of the Honey Building.
