Blackfriars
London. 2014
- Project Details
- Completion: 2014
- Cost: £61 Million
- Clients: Great Portland Estates plc
Terminating the vista from the south end of Blackfriars Bridge is the crystalline form of this 20 storey office building wrapped in a fluid pinstripe glass skin. A simple extruded parallelogram has been cut away in several planes: diagonally to the north, to orientate the building towards the river; at the base, to increase public space at street level; and across the roof, to create a dynamically-shaped sky room.
The building will offer 220,000 square feet of high performance office space in Southwark. Retail units will animate the widened street.
