BuckleyGrayYeoman Associate, Jacqueline Senior has been featured in the June 2014 issue of FX Magazine in a special ‘Focus on Flooring’ article. Jacqueline discusses the bespoke design for The Buckley Building in Clerkenwell.
‘Due to the angled geometry of the building at the main entrance, the incorporation of a conventional matwell proved a challenge. A bespoke design was conceived, based on the tactile paving found at pedestrian crossings, to form a series of matwell discs. This was developed with Intramatting Systems to provide customised stainless steel grommets within which to secure the entrance matting discs, which sit in core-drilled holes in the floor…a simple yet very elegant flooring solution.’

Last night was an exciting night for Buckley Gray Yeoman – it was AJ100 night and RICS Awards night.
Buckley Building was shortlisted in the Commercial category in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) London Awards. At the AJ100 awards night, Buckley Gray Yeoman were to find their position in the AJ100 and were shortlisted for the first time in the AJ100 Clients’ Choice Award.
Buckley Gray Yeoman are proud to announce Buckley Building won the RICS award – see the below proud photo of Paul White with Benjamin Lesser and John Turner from Derwent London. This is a second award for the highly acclaimed building for Derwent London. In 2013 the building was awarded an Architect’s Journal Retrofit Award. Click here to see more about the Buckley Building.
Meanwhile over at the AJ100 night, Buckley Gray Yeoman jumped a massive 17 places from 81 to 64! Quite a jump! See the below write up in the current AJ100 edition of The Architect’s Journal:
‘It has been a stellar year for BuckleyGrayYeoman, which has shot up 17 places to 64 in the AJ100 rankings and was shortlisted for the Clients’ Choice award. The practice’s decision to ‘neither specialise nor have a house style’ appears to be paying off. Beginning this year with a restructure, the Shoreditch-based practice created four new associate directors and six associates. Enjoying significant growth during the past six months, the practice is moving into new sectors and has a number of larger-sized projects coming through its doors.
Last year it completed the highly acclaimed Buckley Building in Clerkenwell for Derwent London, a refurbishment of a former 1930s factory building that picked up an award at the 2013 AJ Retrofit Awards. In the coming year the practice plans to develop its projects in the education and retail sectors after picking up work for a number of high-profile design-led retail brands.’

The £15 million refurbishment of Derwent London’s Buckley Building is complete. The building offers over 87,000 sq ft of high quality office accommodation with ground level retail in Clerkenwell, the heartland of many of London’s creative industries.
BGY have completely reworked the six-storey 1930s industrial building, adding full-height glazing at ground level and creating a new entrance facing onto the public space of Clerkenwell Green, maximising the civic presence of the building, which occupies a prominent island site.
Exciting interior spaces have been created including site-specific artworks and bespoke furniture.To animate the lobby space, director Matt Yeoman created F=MA, a large-scale kinetic artwork named after Sir Isaac Newton’s famous second law of motion. With the same drive mechanisms used in the wings of the Airbus A380, the entire assembly is put into motion, playfully emulating the familiar swinging of a Newton’s Cradle.
The opening is an especially important moment for the practice as Derwent London named the building after Richard Buckley, one of their late founding partners who died in 2008.
