76 Southbank
Introducing an upgraded Brutalist icon
Designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and completed in 1983, the IBM Building is a bold presence in the buzzing cultural playground of the South Bank. Working with Stirling Prize winning architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, we’re sensitively refurbishing and extending this Grade II listed Brutalist treasure to update it for contemporary office occupiers — and enhance its future.
What’s coming
Learning from the past
Ensuring 76 Southbank is fit for the present day, and for many years to come, Stirling Prize winning architects AHMM have been appointed to lead on design. They’ve undertaken deep research into the history and architectural intent of the original building — including the extension elements themselves which were considered by Lasdun during the initial concept design stage.
Building for the future
The update, whilst respecting the heritage and historic fabric of the existing building, will deliver highly efficient and flexible commercial office space of the highest sustainable standards. Meanwhile, outside, we’ll look to improve the building’s relationship to the local conservation area and river frontage.
London’s cultural concrete playground
With landmark institutions like the National Theatre and Royal Festival Hall, Southbank is one of London’s most important cultural and employment hubs. The refurbishment and extension of the neighbouring IBM Building will further cement the area’s status as an incomparable destination.
