"The Featherstone Building is one of those special projects, the result of a deeply collaborative process over many years between Derwent London and Morris+Company. The building is perfect in almost every way. It has managed to fuse the highest ambitions for a contextually responsive, people focused place, whilst adopting modern methods of construction and the highest benchmarks for sustainability. Drawing on the historic legacy of Clerkenwell’s rich industrial heritage, The Featherstone Building is already a timeless classic.”
