Heritage reborn: The Department Store by Squire and Partners ...
food staff drinks ambience location
The Department Store transforms an Edwardian shopping arcade in Brixton into a new practice HQ, event space and community hub The grandeur and decadence of the old Bon Marché department store in the heart of London’s Brixton, an Edwardian shopping complex modelled on the original, opulent store in Paris, had all but been forgotten when architect Squire and Partners decided it would make the perfect new practice office.
As well as three floors of office space, an events space and rooftop restaurant open to the public at weekends, there’s a new community Post Office, cafe, coffee roastery, restaurant and vinyl shop, all extending along Ferndale Road and enlivening a previously dead frontage.
A large reception area, with a huge, 6.5m-long wooden desk, modelled on a haberdashery display, opens on to a new triple-height void, connecting to a basement events space and upstairs to the three workspace floors.
New spaces have been created in the restored interior, here featuring a Kaare Klint Addition sofa, revived for the building by Carl Hansen.
A new rooftop floor, Upstairs at The Department Store, provides a restaurant, bar and lounge areas for staff and a large meeting room looking on to a terrace.
