The infill is the rear extension of a set of Grade II-listed buildings located near Liverpool Street Station in the City of London. 

The completed development spreads over a new double basement, Ground, and three upper floors. Unlike the majority of the works, which were in keeping with the site's heritage, the rear infill, a three-storey extension above the first floor presented an opportunity to create contrast while being subservient to the rest.

The new rear building was built using a steel frame with an external timber wall, clad in a Cor-Ten and Aluminium Rainscreen cladding.

The design of the outdoor space was crucial in allowing residents to enjoy the view. Despite facing several landscaping restrictions, the inclusion of an olive tree became a key feature, providing a visual focal point in the urban environment.
