Sustainable Workplaces: TOG unveils landmark mass-timber office building in central London

Business Info Article
The article discusses the Black & White Building, a new sustainable office building in the heart of Shoreditch, London, designed by design-led workspace specialist TOG and sustainable-construction experts Waugh Thistleton Architects. This seven-floor building, which is the tallest mass-timber office building in central London, is constructed entirely from renewable timbers, with raw-wood interiors inspired by the neighbourhood's creative heritage.
The building has 37% less embodied carbon than comparable structures, and is powered by 100% renewable energy sources. It can also be disassembled and reused in the future, contributing to the circular economy. The Black & White Building is the first workspace to be built from the ground up by TOG after almost 20 years of retrofitting, and it sets out to demonstrate that timber is not just a viable alternative to concrete and steel when it comes to building offices, but the preferable option, both in terms of performance and sustainability.
