The 1960s building used to be Blackfriars Crown Court. Soon, it will relaunch as Roots in the Sky, a net-zero workspace. Which will devote sections of office space for community use, managed by a not-for-profit committee. Green roofs can reduce air pollution by 30-57% in surrounding areas and counteract the ‘urban heat island’ effect during hot weather.
