Brew House is the only remnant of the original Rogers Brewery. Its Listed status saved it when the adjacent site was redeveloped in the 1980s as offices. At the time it was converted to low-grade offices and all its historic features covered over.
Now restored it has been stripped back to reveal its original character. A new entrance follows the noninstitutional approach to the building, more ‘Shoreditch’ than Cat A or B.
Floor plates are approximately 6,500sq.ft. each, totalling approx 26,000sq.ft. There is also a vaulted former barrel store in the basement with 14ft ceilings.
Former Inland Revenue offices totalling 25,000sq.ft. (2,325sq.m.). being transformed into 46 bright, affordable living spaces, along with four new-build penthouse flats on the roof.
Conversion of former Edwardian bicycle works totalling 17,000sq.ft. (1,579sq.m.) into 18 residential and office buildings.

The Printworks is the commercial element of a mixed-use development. The 16,750sq.ft (1,556sq.m.) of offices are arranged in seven rebuilt Victorian industrial buildings surrounding a cobbled mews in Kew Village, west London. Floor areas range from 565 to 1,315sq.ft. The residential element of the scheme consists of 14 apartments developed by Laing Homes.
The programme of regeneration emphasised the original industrial aesthetic of this ex-printworks whilst at the same time creating office space equipped for the 21st century.
The objective was to provide contemporary workspace in an alternative suburban location for the type of image-conscious company more commonly associated with central London locations such as Clerkenwell, South Bank or Soho.
