By Toby Adam

GFA has worked for Admiral Group for over 15 years, indeed we used to share an office block in Cardiff . We are experts in knowing what works for Admiral in terms of space-planning and fit out.

CityPoint Reception | London EC2

9th January 2017

By creo

City Point is a Square Mile landmark. It was acquired by Beacon Capital Partners in 2007 but some of its origins as the home of BP remained, not least some outdated office space and a congested ground floor. We introduced modest but important interventions to the existing 118m2 reception area, to give greater transparency to … Continued

St. Philips Point | Birmingham

9th January 2017

By creo

St. Philips Point is a triangular plan tall office building with a prow facing Cathedral Green. It is iconic in its location within Birmingham, but was in need of a new strategy in the face of local competition. A new transparency was needed and our work included new glazing and canopy to the entire entrance … Continued

Bicester Airfield | Bicester

9th January 2017

By creo

The airbase at RAF Bicester essentially dates from 1925 until 1994, when the final United States Air Force personnel stationed there vacated. In 2008, many parts of the site were designated a Conservation Area; including the technical site, airfield and defence structures, which Bicester Heritage then acquired in 2013. Overall there are more than 60 … Continued

Llys Cadwyn | Pontypridd

9th January 2017

By David

There were several failed attempts by private developers to initiate new development on this important town centre site (now called Llys Cadwyn). The Local Authority acquired it in 2011 and commissioned a public sector focused scheme. They charged Gaunt Francis Architects with finding the most appropriate solution, based on a mix of uses. Property valuation … Continued

18 St. Swithins Lane | London EC4

9th January 2017

By creo

St. Swithins Lane is a busy City pedestrian thoroughfare – a prime link between Cannon Street station and many parts of the Square Mile. It is a historic and narrow street, a legacy of its medieval origins, so most views of the buildings either side are oblique. Creating a high profile entrance to a new … Continued

31 St James Square | London SW1

9th January 2017

By David

St James Square contains some of central London’s most valuable real estate. No 31 is significant by virtue of its history (it was previously the site of the Duke of Norfolk’s royal residence, and its 1938 replacement, though unloved, became Eisenhower’s HQ during WWII) and by the fact that it is ‘L -shaped’ on plan, … Continued

Savoy Hill House | London WC2

9th January 2017

By creo

Savoy Hill House was originally constructed as a late Victorian apartment building, but was acquired by the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) in 1909 to form their central London staff facilities. Each end was rebuilt after wartime bombing (interestingly, from both world wars) and the original brick crosswall construction became inter-laced with a mixture … Continued
