The Scoop - Union Street

The Scoop is a bold Southwark redevelopment, transforming an existing building with a concave façade and blending heritage with innovative workspace design.

The Scoop is a striking concave office building located at 50–52 Union Street in Southwark, London. Set within the Union Street Conservation Area, the project is a thoughtful and highly site-specific response that remodels and extends an existing four-storey office building into a distinctive and future-proofed workplace. It delivers high-quality Cat A office space with a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

At the heart of the design is a playful and innovative curved façade in white glazed brick, carved to frame the circular window of the neighbouring Grade II listed Church of the Most Precious Blood. This intervention not only honours the heritage context of the surroundings but establishes a striking new identity that resonates with both the local community and passers-by. Much loved already, the building creates a bold yet respectful dialogue between past and present.
