Future Systems – 367 Oxford Street

Future Systems has completed an interested remodel at 367 Oxford Street. I am a fan of Future Systems’ simple but quirky designs. This project consisted of adding two facades and an additional floor to an existing structure.


From Future Systems: “The brief was to transform the quality and appearance of a tired 1960’s building at the undeveloped end of Oxford Street. Our proposal removes the brick and glass façade and replaces it with a subtle yet vibrant jewel-like glass frontage that delicately unifies the lower ground and first floor retail units with the office space above. Through the repetition of crystal-like glass bays, a sense of scale and rhythm is created that reflects the grain of the adjacent properties as well as giving the offices panoramic views along Oxford Street. At night the façade will be illuminated from inside giving off a subtle coloured glow.”
