62-68 Rosebery Avenue was built in 1896 by architect Frank Job Chambers. In 1911, the ground floor was converted into a 355 seater cinema; The Avenue Picture Palace. Located in an area known then as Little Italy, this was sadly to close soon after the beginning of World War 1 in 1914.
The cinema shared the building with The Munich Gerner Brewery in the lower ground floor, and a handful of printing related businesses on the upper floors. How nice it must been for the workers in the building at the time to have ‘popped down’ to enjoy a film and a few beers.
More than 100 years later, this classic but tired Victorian warehouse style building has had new life breathed into it. Now home to Brunner UK’ s stunning London showroom, architects
McDowell + Benedetti have skilfully converted this into a light, airy and gallery like space while preserving much of its original industrial character.
New innovation factory
In response to the future need for a modern production facility at the factory site, the striking hybrid building houses the design department, assembly and shipping areas, offices, communications areas and the staff canteen.
Daylight floods through the single storey production area and illuminates the two-storey wing that houses an integrated gallery, where the assembly lines can be viewed from the staff restaurant and office areas – all equipped with Brunner furniture of course.
The visible wooden structure of the innovation factory makes for a striking image that pays homage to the company’s manufacturing concept – because a lot is made by hand during the production of our furniture.
The new innovation building is a self-contained building on the company’s own site, with a logistics facility and a connection to the existing production hall. Modernisation measures include relaxing out door areas featuring a terrace adjacent to the staff canteen, a vast landscaped courtyard and pond area. All with Brunner’s range of Crona Steel outdoor furniture.
