Royal Academy of Arts, Gallery and Rooftop Offices
2008

Following the completion of the Offices Refurbishment project the practice was appointed to carry out a further project to provide new rooftop offices, and an environmentally controlled gallery space and lifts, following a fire which destroyed an existing gallery ceiling and roof.
This project involved rebuilding the roof above one of the principal galleries with a new structure, the insertion of two new passenger lifts through 5 storeys of historic structure and the creation of a 2 storey core at roof level linking into different levels of the existing building. The building remained occupied throughout the course of the contract.

This project also included refurbishment of other upper floor office spaces and gallery spaces to provide additional workspaces required for decant space needed to enable subsequent phases of the RA’s development masterplan.
