Barclays Fit Out
Sidell Gibson have master planned this significant City centre site at Snowhill Station in Birmingham to provide approximately 52,000m² net area of high quality offices, up to 5,000m² of retail and leisure space, 330 residential units and a 170-bed hotel with associated conference facilities.

The site presents a complex 3-dimensional planning problem, involving the realignment of the surrounding roads and junctions giving significant increases in area, connection to the station concourse and new transport interchange, and the incorporation of a new tram line on its own viaduct. The development will form a strategic link between the business centre of Birmingham and the historic Gun and Jewellery quarters. To this end, the design will group the new buildings around a series of landscaped public spaces encouraging pedestrian movement between the areas.
We have also completed the detailed design of the two office buildings on the site, incorporating A1/A3 use at ground level. Detailed planning consent was obtained for these buildings in June 2006 and May 2007. Building One is now complete and in use with interior fit-out for Barclays by Sidell Gibson Interiors.
