Description
Originally opened by Princess Alexandra in 1976, ONE TWO SIX began life as The King’s Fund Centre, a hub for healthcare innovation and learning. In
1995, it became the global HQ of World ORT, continuing its legacy of education and social impact. Now, this iconic Camden building is being reimagined as a bold, design-led workspace, combining 1970s character with contemporary thinking.
126 Albert Street (formerly Ort House) is a 1970s brick-clad office and residential property designed by Sheppard Robson Architects. The building comprises lower ground, ground and three upper floors, arranged around an internal core with associated amenities. The current proposal aims to modernise the accommodation by creating flexible, open-plan office space suited to 21st-century standards. Enhancements include a reconfigured entrance, new courtyard to improve natural light, upgraded plant and services, and improved landscaping around the building.
The refurbishment will retain the existing architectural character but introduce subtle contemporary elements to increase energy efficiency and workplace quality. Enlarged windows on the Albert Street façade will improve daylight penetration, while materials such as brick and glass will ensure visual consistency with the original design and surrounding buildings. Overall, the project aims to transform an outdated office building into a sustainable and adaptable workplace environment without compromising its architectural integrity.
