TALK | The Future of Modernist Buildings in London

Join us for an evening of discussion at Space House, a Grade II-listed modernist landmark, as we explore the challenges and opportunities involved in preserving and adapting modernist buildings in London.

As the city continues to evolve, the role of modernist architecture in its future remains a key question. Originally designed by Sir Richard Seifert, Space House demonstrates how heritage buildings can be sensitively reimagined to meet contemporary needs. Its recent refurbishment highlights the balance between conservation and innovation, making it a fitting venue for this conversation.

The panel will feature key figures in London’s modernist building redesign, including:

• Seaforth – the developer behind the Space House transformation
• Squire & Partners – architects reknowned for their reuse and refurbishment projects
• Donald Insall Associates – conservation specialists
• Atelier Ten – environmental design consultants and engineers

Panellists will share insights into the project’s approach to working with listed modernist buildings, from addressing technical and regulatory challenges to integrating sustainable design solutions. The discussion will provide valuable perspectives on the future of modernist architecture in London and how these structures can continue to contribute to the city’s built environment.

You will also have the opportunity to go on a building tour with key members of the design team and enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of London.

We look forward to welcoming you to this timely and informative event.
