3 Contemporary office space in the heart of Covent Garden Davidson Building, Southampton Street Built in 2003, Davidson Building is a double award winning, landmark development that provides high specification office space just moments from Covent Garden market. Comprising a newly refurbished stunning ground floor reception, four double-aspect floors with cantilevered balconies on levels two and three and a glazed fifth floor penthouse office with private terrace. The structure sits behind a freestanding, tensionheld façade and represents an extraordinary fusion of old and new. From behind the elegant Edwardian façade of 5 Southampton Street, it s just possible to make out the markers of modernity. A series of aluminium fins run the length of the parapet, holding in place the glazed roof of a deep atrium, behind which unfolds a modern, flexible and sustainable office building.
