On the day of our visit, in the square in front of the latest Myo office, City types were lounging in decks chairs under parasols, watching Wimbledon on a big screen. New Street Square behind London’s Fleet Street is bordered by Landsec buildings, one of which houses the 6,500 sqm Myo.
Landsec’s ‘flexible workspace’ offering sits in a 2008 building by Bennetts Associates, who were the masterplanners of the new square and 100,000 sq m of space across five buildings. This Myo, designed by Fitzrovia-based dMFK Architects, follows on from St Paul’s Myo by Basha Franklin. Unlike that one in Jean Nouvel’s One New Change, Myo New Street Square occupies the entire building, which dMFK took back to its shell.
