Norton Folgate is a special place. The mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings, set around historic cobbled courtyards and quiet streets, feels a world away from the City but is only a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, Broadgate, Spitalfields Market, Brick Lane and Shoreditch.

Elder Yard & Studios forms part of this 340,000 sq ft mixed use development which is made up of eight buildings ranging in size from 10,000 to 120,000 sq ft. Four architects have worked together on the project: AHMM, Stanton Williams, Morris + Company and DSDHA, with the aim of making sure the character and variety of the place is captured in the architecture of the new buildings.
