The Bower, the reinvention of a collection of 1960s buildings on the Old Street roundabout, is now complete. A mix of retail, restaurants and larger floorplate offices is housed within the reclad office tower, the warehouse to the rear, and a collection of smaller new buildings which line the site and frame the new mews. On the ground floor, a new route from Old Street cut through the base of the slab block introduces permeability into the site, and further connects it into a wider network of buildings, routes and places.
