Set against an unmistakable skyline view of London, the HMRC Treasury Building stands proud. For 117 years its Portland stone façade and finely proportioned rooflines have contributed to one of the world’s most celebrated cityscapes.
The recent rooftop upgrade featuring Configured Platforms plant enclosures demonstrates how modern building services can be seamlessly integrated with historic architecture. Screens powder-coated to precisely match the existing stonework allow the new structures to blend seamlessly with the historic fabric. From street level and from distant vantage points across the Thames, the HMRC Treasury Building retains its iconic presence within the London panorama, yet now benefits from resilient building services designed for contemporary efficiency standards.
The perfect harmony of 20th century character & 21st century innovation
The project showcases how thoughtful collaboration between architects, engineers, and specialist manufacturers can protect architectural heritage while embracing progress.
As London continues to evolve, the Treasury Building project offers a model for sensitive renewal — proving that modern rooftop interventions can sit respectfully beside historic stone façades of Edwardian, 20th-century buildings, preserving the skyline that defines the city while enabling the technology it requires.
