The Brief

This project redeveloped the former London Stock Exchange building, retaining the existing structure, to produce an attractive modern office tower. We were appointed to deliver the consented scheme.   

Concept

Our work involved the refurbishment, recladding and a new extension. The existing cladding was removed, as were intermediate semi-structural mullions. Additional structure was added both to the central cores and between the existing perimeter columns. This enabled new floor space to be cantilevered two metres beyond the original building line.

Features

The uppermost translucent cladding panels soften the transition between building and sky. The original podium has been demolished and a new seven-storey building constructed in its place, providing the six lower levels with floors of approximately twice the area of the tower floors above. The ground floor has been opened up for retail and restaurant use and creates a lively urban focus for the area.
