SHCA was appointed by Merrill Lynch Europe after competitive interview to assist them in finding a new London corporate headquarters. SHCA provided the full range of integrated consultancy services offered by the Practice for this project, including initial site searches, preparation of the space brief, architectural design and design of the interiors including specialist support facilities.

Acclaimed as a significant architectural contribution to the city, this 830,000 sq ft (77,110 sq m) headquarters provides Merrill Lynch with high quality office space, two of Europe's largest trading floors and client and amenity spaces in four buildings.

With St Bartholomew's Hospital and the Old Bailey as immediate neighbours, this complex site includes four ancient monuments, an operational post office railway system and St Paul's height restrictions.

As lead consultant, SHCA provided an holistic approach through strategic planning, architecture and interior design. The space efficiency and workplace environment set a new best-in-class benchmark for Merrill Lynch worldwide.
