The Smith
The Smith is a commercial office development in the heart of Westminster located on the corner of Dean Stanley Street and Millbank, with the rear elevation facing Smith Square. The new building will provide circa 121,000 sq ft (NIA) of office space and 5,500 sq ft of amenity space.
The existing nine-storey stone clad building was originally constructed as the headquarters for British American Tobacco between 1913 and 1915 and more recently was used as part of the Parliamentary Estate. The original building provided circa 125,703 sq ft NIA.
The scheme includes the careful dismantling of the existing stone façades, demolition of the existing structure and rebuild to provide eight floors of commercial office, with a central atrium to bring to the floor plates with terrace and roof amenity space, taking advantage of the stunning views over London, and in particular the Palace of Westminster and the River Thames.
The client brief has sustainability at its core. The project is targeting BREEAM 'Outstanding' (2018) and a progressive NABERS rating.
