BGT Bischoff Glastechnik played a key role in the striking transformation of Anglo American and De Beers Group’s London headquarters.

At 17 Charterhouse Street in London, the headquarters of Anglo American and De Beers Group has been reimagined from the ground up. What once was a traditional structure is now a bold, contemporary workplace that challenges conventions and sets new standards. Led by MCM the transformation included stripping the building back to its core, adding elegant extensions, rethinking internal flows and giving the façade a completely new face. At the heart of this change: our high-performance insulating glass — delivering not only energy efficiency and comfort but also a sense of openness, light and clarity that defines the modern business space.
