Arding & Hobbs

A historical landmark is reborn with the redevelopment of Grade II-listed department store into office and retail space

Clapham Junction's iconic Arding & Hobbs building has undergone an extensive transformation from a Grade II-listed listed department store to a contemporary mix of retail, leisure and workspace.

Spanning seven floors, Stiff + Trevillion’s reimagination of this icon celebrates its unique history whilst equipping its tenants for modern-day work, rest and play. The building showcases exceptional conservation of its Grade II-listed heritage, transforming it into a vibrant mixed-use space, revealing hidden gems such as barrel-vaulted glass ceilings, and original radiators and doors. 

The redevelopment of the site involved structural repairs and selective internal demolition to enhance the space, complemented by a modern rooftop extension set back from the original façade.

Situated in the heart of Clapham Junction, Arding & Hobbs benefits from the energy of a town-centre location, minutes from the epicentre of one of the world’s great metropolises.

exigere is best in class. Big enough to handle any project. Small enough to provide a high quality, client-focused service. exigere is an integral part of the project team from the acquisition of the asset and throughout every stage of its development cycle.
