The Vision

The building’s subtle exterior pattern of verticals and horizontals echoes that of the high- speed tracks that criss-cross around York Way, while its materials are steeped in locomotive design: smooth-hewn wood and corrugated metal panels that catch the light like the doors of passing freight trains. This lightly industrial aesthetic works with huge glass windows in the double-height reception, open-plan flexible offices and an unrivalled 360-degree vista of London from the roof terrace.

With its proximity to good railway connections – and to the creative co-working ethic of neighbours such as Tileyard Studios – Rolling Stock Yard is part of a dynamic and growing network.
