Northern Ireland firm GRAHAM has landed a major redevelopment contract in London.

The Gramophone Works in Kensal Rise are being redeveloped as a new commercial campus.

Phase one of the works has already been delivered, which features 20,000 sq ft of office space, communal terrace and four outside terraces.

GRAHAM was awarded the £25 million design and build contract for Phase 2 of the project.

The contractor will deliver an additional 65,000 sq ft of contemporary workspace across five floors, with 6,500 sq ft of rooftop access space. There will also be a new shared reception/event space and canal side café, as well as a cycle hub with 130 spaces.

A four-storey timber extension above the building will be installed with new brick and glazed façades added to all elevations, while other improvements will include a louvred rooftop plant enclosure, green roof and photovoltaic solar panel installation.

Rob Joyce, GRAHAM's London office Director, said: "This new development will provide state-of-the-art business facilities and public spaces to support the needs and talents of the local community and workforce in Kensal Rise. Our aim is to create a modern, fit-for-purpose facility that offers a real 'London Village' community feel."

Works are to commence shortly and will be delivered over a 120-week programme.
