The redevelopment of the Which? Headquarters in London seamlessly blends historic preservation with modern efficiency.

The redevelopment of the Which? Headquarters in London, led by KPF Architects, has transformed an existing structure into a contemporary and efficient workspace, all while respecting the integrity of its historic 18th-century background.

By improving circulation and connectivity, the redesign increased open-plan office space, relocated the core and introduced a new façade along Peto Place featuring a mix of transparent and translucent glazing panels.

To enhance daylighting and energy efficiency, OKALUX EVO and KAPILUX W insulating glass were used:

  • OKALUX EVO ensures uniform daylight distribution deep into the space while providing solar control and glare protection.
  • KAPILUX W optimizes daylight penetration with its capillary structure, reducing harsh contrasts and improving insulation.
