Sheppard Robson’s sustainable, flexible office scheme casts Hammersmith in new light

The biggest office to be built in Hammersmith for more than 20 years does not just stand out for its size. The colour of the red facade at 245 Hammersmith Road evolves throughout the day due to the changing light falling onto angled anodised aluminium window surrounds.

The angle of these has been tailored to minimise solar gain and provides elevations that change throughout the day. Scheme architect Sheppard Robson says the vivid scarlet hues, created with red organic dye, reflect the terracotta bricks of the surrounding conservation area.
