Maximise Your Building's Potential with Massing.

How can you use massing to overcome regulatory constraints and meet commercial potential? Find out more in this video...

In London's Square Mile, every building is defined by 'jelly moulds' that set the maximum volume allowed on a site. Balancing what a building could be with spatial constraints can be challenging. This is where massing comes in.

Massing is an effective tool in retrofit projects, enabling the expansion of existing buildings through volumetric or vertical additions. It not only optimises the building's form but also enhances environmental performance and future-proofs the space.

Buro Happold has applied this innovative approach across numerous projects. Read more about the benefits of massing by clicking the link here: https://buro.im/RetrofitMassing
