Projects in London

Selected Projects

“There are other architects whose interventions into London are bigger or more noticeable – but there are none whose work traverses with such ease and intelligence the radically different building types that constitute the city, from spaces for social care to houses for the super-rich, the smallest gallery to the biggest commercial office.�

Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times

Design Approach

“Our contribution is very much one to do with continuity, but in reinterpretation, in the present. (...) There isn’t a style tag. There is much more a concern for a way of crafting, the materiality of these projects, but also their relationship to a specific urban site, whether it is a street, a square, or an urban place of an atypical kind. This is really where the intensity of design discourse happens.”

Eric Parry

The aspect of place and context we explore from a theoretical position and knowledge of the tradition of the European city. This is a basis from which we allow our speculation in design (not with repetition or historicism).

The character of a building can be instigated by an individual creative thought or process but is only delivered with a wider team. The client is central to this team and we have nurtured close and collaborative working relationships with them.

We enjoy a range of scales of making – this is from a door handle to an urban masterplan. The design and execution is different for each but all need passion and commitment. We relish the urban milieu with its juxtapositions of scale, activity and real lived intensity.

Design Methodology

Eric Parry leads our creative design process with a team of skilled and enthusiastic architects and assistants. Depending on the scale of the project a senior architect will manage the internal team and the coordination with the broader design team and client.

For a major urban project this would be a director supported by an associate director and associate with teams of architects to focus on various elements of the project.

We are all familiar with the work stages through which a project should smoothly progress. We are accepting of the need for rigor in completing accurately and fully these stages whilst ensuring our intent and flare is concentrated, not diluted.

When the going is less predictable, as can be the case with planning and external influences, we are able to negotiate to best affect a positive outcome.

An example of our working methodology is seen in the process and selected images (opposite) for the 7 & 8 St James’s Square project and the corner elevation treatment on Duke of York Street.

Our testing through drawing and 3D modelling is then continued through to full size mock ups so that quality control of components can be observed.

Experience working in Westminster Eric Parry Architects has a strong reputation for many completed buildings in the City of Westminster over the last 25 years. This is demonstrated in the illustrated map.

The rich historic fabric of this part of the capital has allow us to work on some of the most important cultural buildings such as St Martin-in-theFields,Trafalgar Square as well as luxury hotels and apartments, art galleries, grade A office buildings and residences for private clients in exclusive Belgravia squares.

This portfolio has been achieved through the trusted relationship with the WCC planning officers and a transparency of process with the communities and councillors.

Most of the projects are within conservation areas and many involve listed buildings or are adjacent to listed buildings.

We have always supported a mutual ambition for the highest quality design and construction with our clients to deliver projects that will be a legacy within Westminster.

London SW1 Client Green Property Limited Value £28m Status Completed 2015

St James’s Square The redevelopment of 7 & 8 St James’s Square replaces the building on the corner of St James’s Square and Duke of York Street and incorporates a new basement structure beneath the adjoining building at 7 St James’s Square.

The latter is an elegantly proportioned and detailed listed townhouse designed by Edwin Lutyens in 1911 for the three bachelor Farrer brothers of banking fame, and had become the headquarters of the Royal Fine Art Commission until it was replaced

by The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in 1999. Planning consent has been granted to convert this back in to a single dwelling.

The design for 8 St James’s Square, to replace the ill-proportioned existing building, is a rigorously crafted modern brick elevation to the square. This elevation echoes the original scale and detailing, typical of its urban setting, most closely exemplified in Chatham House, 9 St James’s Square, to the immediate west side of Duke of York Street.

The new building is a finely considered contribution which is sensitive to the existing urban fabric. The redevelopment provided the opportunity to create a 5,639 sqm office building with potential for 1,187 sqm of gallery or retail at ground level which would contribute to the commercial and public gallery life of this area.

The project included a commission for a significant new work of public art by the distinguished sculptor Stephen Cox. This was conceived as a historical link to Edwin Lutyens: after his completion of No.7, the Farrer family offered Sir Edwin Lutyens the use of the existing stable mews building in Apple Tree Yard as an architectural studio. It was at the time that his practice was expanding for the many government commissions in New Delhi, India.

London SW1 Client The Crown Estate Value £40m Status Completed 2013

One Eagle Place One Eagle Place completed in spring 2013 and provides approximately 2,500 sqm of retail space, 7,850 sqm of office space and 3,500 sqm of residential accommodation.

The development includes most of the buildings bounded by Piccadilly, Regent Street, Jermyn Street and Eagle Place. This comprehensive scheme is a sensitive development that resolved significant problems with the physical fabric of the existing buildings.

The project safeguarded the long-term viability of the buildings on the site and seized the opportunity to deliver an exemplary development providing world class office, retail and residential accommodation.

In line with the City of Westminster’s planning policy, public art has been integrated into the overall design of the scheme with commissions

by Richard Deacon & Stephen Cox. The scheme and the related artwork together forms a significant landmark and present a valuable contribution to this prominent environment and to the wider area.

The scheme has revitalised the surrounding public spaces in the heart of London with careful treatment of loading and servicing to all uses.

London W1 Client D2 Private Value £39m Status Completed 2009

23 Savile Row 23 Savile Row is arranged as two wings flanking a recessed central section, the new six storey scheme consists of 14,640 sqm of office space with visually permeable retail and exhibition space at ground level.

The quality and detail of the new building’s finely articulated façade is a respectful response to this conservation area in the heart of London’s West End.

The self-supporting stonework was conceived as a sequence of punched openings within a stone wall, with each window opening flanked by pilasters supporting a profiled string course. The depth of the façade allows full height windows to the deep office plan.

The project included a commission for a significant new work of public art by the distinguished American sculptor Joel Shapiro. Shapiro conceived a dynamic artwork in cast bronze that forms a dramatic but carefully integrated part of the new building’s main façade onto Savile Row.

The building was completed in March 2009, and is fully let. The ground floor retail units are occupied by the internationally renowned Hauser & Wirth’s new gallery space for London.

The project won West End Development of the Year at the Property Week Office Development Awards 2009 and was shortlisted for a RIBA Award in 2010.

London SW1 Client The Portman Estate Status Completed 2018

1-9 Seymour Street 1-9 Seymour Street is a mixed use development for The Portman Estate on the site of a former police station.

London WC2 Client Capital & Counties Properties Value ÂŁ7.5m Status Completed April 2017

The Opera Terrace In 2013, Eric Parry Architects was successful in gaining the unique opportunity of renovating one of London’s most famous historic sites: The Opera Terrace, Covent Garden (1831), which spans the Eastern Façade of the Grade II* listed Market Building set in the Heart of the West End.

Eric Parry Architects was commissioned to both replace the existing 1980s conservatory with a more contemporary design, that is equally fitting to the stature & heritage of the site, along with an extensive re-organisation of the restaurants programme, converting a once labyrinthine back-ofhouse into a more usable and efficient proposition.

It was this, combined with a desire to create a more vibrant dining experience, that led to an architectural response that takes shape as a clear glass wing, which hovers over the terrace, enfolding the dining & bar spaces, whilst still allowing access to the sky and views out onto the square below, where this light structure works as an animated backdrop to the activity of performance occurring within.

London W1 Client St Martin-in-the-Fields Value £26m Status Church interior completed & reopened 2007.

Exterior works & new pavilion completed 2008

St Martin-in-the-Fields The parish Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields is justifiably regarded as the masterpiece of the distinguished 18th century architect James Gibbs and one of the country’s finest historic churches.

It plays a substantial and positive role in shaping the architectural and townscape character of Trafalgar Square and this part of Central London and contributes considerably to the cultural and social life of the capital. It is a landmark building and is of the greatest importance both nationally and internationally.

The project was a masterplan for the whole St Martin-in-the-Fields site to achieve a once in a century reorganisation for the varied uses.

These included: the refurbishment and conservation of Gibbs’ Grade I listed church and crypt; the reconstruction of the below ground spaces; the rationalisation and extension of the Grade II listed Nash Terrace; and the reordering of the publicly accessible spaces. The latter forming the missing sacred element of World Squares for All at Trafalgar Square.

This project received Heritage Lottery Funding and planning approval from Westminster City Council and the Diocesan Advisory Committee was received in October 2003. The restoration of the church interior was awarded a Georgian Group Architectural Award in 2007 for the restoration of a Georgian Church.

“This project has been a truly epic undertaking and its completion is doubtless as much a tribute to its architect’s powers of negotiation as to the intelligence it has brought to the design. Faced with a fantastically complex set of challenges, it has somehow maintained a real singularity of vision throughout.”

Chelsea Barracks Eric Parry Architects have designed 5 new residential buildings across 2 Phases of the masterplan for the redevelopment of the former Chelsea Barracks, a large site on Chelsea Bridge Road, opposite Ranelagh Gardens.

Phase 4 comprises three buildings, Nos. 6, 7 and 8, arranged around a private courtyard at the centre of the masterplan. Building 7 sits on Chelsea Bridge Road and is seen as the most prestigious building in the development. Buildings 18 and 19 are across a new public Square, with Building 19 being a companion piece to Building 7 on Chelsea Bridge Road.

All 5 buildings are 6 storeys in height with a further two storey penthouse set back at the upper levels. There is a mostly two storey basement across the site, providing car parking, residential storage, plantrooms as well as a residents gym and spa, including a three storey basement with a top lit tennis court. Each building is between 62 – 64.5m long, by between 22 and 23m wide.

The appearance of each building is informed by the historic character of the area and combined with contemporary detailing. Phase 4 provides 88 residential units, Phase 6 provides 96 units. Phase 4 is currently on site, Phase 6 has been submitted for planning permission.

Buildings 7 and 19 on Chelsea Bridge Road are proposed to have light coloured limestone in the tradition of London’s finest buildings. The remaining buildings are predominantly dark brickwork, with limestone detailing to bases and window surrounds.

The proportions of the elevations have been carefully studied and the proposals have a sense of generosity and authority, emphasising the principle of a tripartite order: base, body and top that characterise a tradition of urban architecture.

London W1 Client Four Season Hotel & Resorts Status Completed 2011

Four Seasons Hotel Spa One of the capital’s top 5-star hotels, the Four Seasons is located on Hamilton Place, just off Park Lane in London’s exclusive Mayfair district. Dating from 1969, the hotel was in need of refurbishment to preserve its reputation as a luxurious haven.

Appointed in January 2005, Eric Parry Architects developed a proposal for the extension to the roof to include a new spa, early arrivals suite and gym.

The attic storey also facilitates the rationalisation of existing and redundant plant and accommodate new chillers required to power air-conditioning to all bedrooms.

In addition to providing the vital 5-star services and facilities, the design offers visitors to the spa the opportunity to experience the magnificent rooftop views afforded by the hotel’s position.

In developing the design, Eric Parry Architects carried out thorough analysis of the existing services and how massing of a new roof would work with the form of the existing building.

Conservation and Design Officers were closely consulted to achieve a quality of design sympathetic to the hotel’s surroundings and existing building.

The vision behind the new extension is a delicate white attic with a dark ebony stove-enamelled metal roof, which overhangs and shades the new glass elevation and complements the existing Portland Stone façades.

The balconies to the north elevation are enclosed with frameless double-glazing to make them usable all year round and increase the area of the rooms in the process.

The form and high quality materials used in the additional storey adds a sophisticated gravitas to the existing building.

by Stephen Cox and furniture by the Azumis.

The Spa is internationally acknowledged as one of the best facilities of its kind and attracts the most discerning international clientele.

London W2 Client Landmark Hotel Group Value £13.7m Status Completed 2005

Royal Lancaster Hotel The hotel is a significant landmark on the north side of Hyde Park, with views over the open space and London’s skyline. Podium and slab in design, it was constructed as an office block but converted soon after into a hotel. The exterior of the hotel was in need of revitalisation to remove tired and unsightly precast concrete panels. Eric Parry Architects was appointed in 1998 to carry out a major makeover of the building’s podium façade to protect and enhance the hotel’s commercial performance.

We proposed the complete reworking of the entire envelope of the hotel podium, which contains the conference facilities and restaurants. Planning permission was successfully gained from Westminster City Council and involved negotiations with the Royal Parks. The design and layout of the proposals were developed through detailed discussions and workshops with the hotel owners and its hotel management team, chef and conference and banqueting teams.

The works comprised clearing away 1980s glass extensions and streamlining the frontage with a new stone façade. Striking, near white, limestone was used in conjunction with large glazed panels set in mirror-finish, stainless-steel frames to create a new urban skin for the hotel.

The limestone, cut from Spanish quarries specifically for this project, was finished in the UK by stone specialists to ensure an elegant façade of the highest possible quality.

The renewal also enabled the extension of the building line to the site boundary in two places, and as a result the hotel offer was expanded to include 12 new syndicate rooms, new hotel offices, and the new Island restaurant and private dining rooms. The practice has worked with the client on the feasibility of further extensions to the podium and refurbishment to the bedroom accommodation tower.

Kensington Hotel The chance to re-imagine a ‘grand’ hotel and redefine luxury for the 21st century is an extraordinary opportunity, and still more exceptional when it is sited opposite Kensington Palace, overlooking one of London’s most celebrated parks and charmingly intimate palace settings laid out

by Sir Christopher Wren from 1689. Essentially a building in two acts, this new architecture embraces the dramatic potential of the site and the complexity of the existing urban fabric.

The new north wing celebrates the park aspect while behind this the white stucco terraces have been remodelled with elegant clarity. The leitmotif that harmonises new and old is the way nature is assimilated into the building externally and internally: from the subtle framing of long park views and the panoramic skyline to the kaleidoscopic reflections of trees and skies in the lens–like contours of the luminous park façade; from the operatic mood of the ‘enchanted forest’ and botanical specimen cases to the extensive roof gardens that echo the graphic shapes of Kensington Palace’s formal gardens.

The new wing can be described as ‘contemporary Regency’, inspired by the grandeur and formal planning of houses overlooking Hyde Park on Park Lane or Brighton’s sea front where the first floor is a stage for entertaining elevated to take advantage of the views and float ethereally above the busyness of the street.

Equally the undulating surface of the new glass façade is a reinterpretation of the Regency period bow window.

London NC1 Client Argent Group plc Value £76m Status Completed 2017

4 Pancras Square The Argent development at King’s Cross is one of the most significant new urban developments in London and one that will receive worldwide attention. The site is located to the north of the existing King’s Cross railway station, adjacent to St Pancras International Station on brownfield land.

Eric Parry Architects was commissioned in 2003 to prepare an initial design for 4 Pancras Square to test the Masterplan proposal. At that time the cast iron gasometer was still located on the site of the proposed Pancras Square and this informed the proposal for an expressed steel frame to this office building.

The building consists of 10 storeys of office above ground floor reception and retail with two floors of basement below and was completed in June 2017.

The materials of the façade consist of weathering steel and white glazed ceramic for the horizontal brise soleil shading.

1 Undershaft Eric Parry Architects has unveiled their competition winning design for a new tower within the heart of the City of London. The brief was to deliver an innovative world class building to replace the existing 1960s structure with a simple, elegant sculptural form, diminishing in profile in its upper storeys.

1 Undershaft lies at the heart of the ‘Eastern Cluster’, an area already determined by the City of London Corporation to be suitable for tall buildings.

Located at the junction of St Mary Axe and Leadenhall Street, the site has been at the centre of commerce in the City of London since Roman times. When constructed, 1 Undershaft will be the tallest building in the City of London.

1 Undershaft will create a place for all who work, visit, or live in London. Central to the proposal is the ambition to create a new public space that can accommodate the increased number of pedestrians and cyclists who will be moving through this part of the City.

The building also acknowledges the importance of culture within the City. As well as providing spaces for the public at street level, it will offer a generous space at the top of the building for a free public viewing gallery, education centre and restaurant.

Fen Court Fen Court is a building conceived as a development in the tradition of the European city block, rather than that of the signature tall building. It sets a new street scale for this particular district of the City of London – it is a building that has a presence through a multitude of views, from the distant, to silhouettes seen down the many surrounding lanes and streets that characterise this City as London.

From the taller buildings that are emerging the current roofscape of the city is an unsightly sea of air conditioning plant. This and an absolute need for more sustainable building stock gave rise to the idea of creating a publicly accessible roof garden, accessed from a central court at street level. An enlarged north-south route runs through the building which will radically improve the connection to adjoining public spaces.

The building conforms to the architectural principle of a base, with retail use, a body of office floors to a street shoulder or cornice level, and an upper level of office floors that will have a crystalline appearance changing and activated by daylight and the weather conditions.

London EC3 Client The Clothworkers’ Company Status Planning

50 Fenchurch Street 50 Fenchurch Street is an island site bounded by Fenchurch Street, Mincing Lane, Dunster Court, and Mark Lane. The site is owned by The Clothworkers’ Company.

Apart from the medieval Tower of All Hallows Staining and the subterranean Lambe’s Chapel Crypt, all the buildings were built after 1945. These buildings include the Clothworkers’ Hall, Minster House, 46-50 Fenchurch Street, 51-54 Fenchurch Street and St Olave’s Church Hall.

Typical Podium Levels Plan

The proposed 50 Fenchurch Street includes two listed buildings, the Grade I listed Tower of All Hallows Staining and the Grade II listed Lambe’s Chapel Crypt. Neither are currently accessible to the public as they are on private land.

50 Fenchurch Street will provide over 62,000 sq m of flexible office space arranged around a central core. Floor plates vary in size’ to maximise the building’s appeal to a range of City occupiers.

Level 10 Plan - Public Roof Garden

The proposed scheme sets the Tower within a new street level public realm, with the aspiration of providing public access to the interior. Lambe’s Chapel Crypt is to be relocated to a publicly accessible location on site, providing the opportunity to improve the Crypt’s presentation, setting and understanding.

London EC4 Client City of London Corporation Status Public Consultation

Salisbury Square The City of London Corporation has identified a unique opportunity to create modern facilities for both the City of London Police and Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) in the heart of the historic Square Mile.

Built to exemplar standards when it comes to accessibility and sustainability, the buildings are designed to last for at least 125 years. Salisbury Square will be enlarged and refocused as a gathering point for the development, somewhere people can enjoy.

Eric Parry Architect has been commissioned to design and deliver a new, purpose-built 18-courtroom legal facility called the City of London Law Courts and a cutting-edge police head-quarters equipped to amongst other things combat fraud and economic crime across the UK.

The placement of buildings and introduction of new routes has been inspired by the ancient City, with passageways and spaces encouraging con-versation and exchange of information. Eric Parry Architects have prioritised the continuation of this tradition and integrated it into a modern development as a vital part of civic life.

London EC3 Client Brookfield Multiplex Value £24.9m Status Completed 2016

5 - 7 St Helen’s Place Eric Parry Architects has designed both a new office building and the new premises for Brookfield Multiplex and The Leathersellers’ Company in the City of London. The site, in a dense Conservation Area, is part of a 1920s Neo-Renaissance cul-de-sac and is bordered by tower blocks in the near distance and, directly to the south, by a Grade I Listed church with elements dating from the thirteenth century.

The project comprises the retention of the five storey stone façade and the construction of a new office building with an additional upper penthouse level behind an extended mansard roof. The new façade to the south, has modulated glazed ceramic to provide a backdrop to the church.

The site has three party wall neighbours and, as the new building is constructed less than a metre away from the church, a sensitive and harmonious relationship to the listed historic fabric has been achieved.

An additional basement has been created to house the grand rooms of the Leathersellers’ Company.

Occupying the lower levels of the building are contemporary crafted interiors entailing the re-use of fixtures and fittings from their previous premises.

The Leathersellers’ Hall The Leathersellers' Company has occupied this site continuously since 1543. Whilst earlier halls were located within St Helen’s Place, the new 7th hall has now returned to the site of its earliest historical location. The design showcases some of the best contemporary crafting in leather, joinery, textiles and metalwork.

The interior includes the following principal spaces: The Court Room sits 29 around a new table. The walls finished in American black walnut panelling alternate with vertical slotted timber reeds. The deep red curtains, white leather chairs, the colours of the carpet and the glint of the crystal cut chandeliers add life and ceremony to the room.

The Reception Room, a light, airy space, speaks to the future more than the past and features a clear and indigo drawn glass sculpture

by Dale Chihuly.

The Stair Hall incorporates scagliola pilasters from the sixth hall; these are placed between raised panels of polished plaster in two tones to add to the apparent depth of the surface.

The Dining Hall (see page 23) can host 120 guests seated in three rows and has a clerestory with views to the church wall above.

The walls are panelled in American black walnut, alternating in plain and reeded horizontal sections in a similar arrangement to the Court Room. The tapestry frieze, some 60 sqm was commissioned to create bold colour narrative and a sense of a further horizon.

The Project recently won a RIBA London Award (2017).

London EC1 Client The Charterhouse Value ÂŁ4.2m Status Completed February 2017

Revealing the Charterhouse In 2012, Eric Parry Architects won a competition to make strategic interventions at The London Charterhouse. The Charterhouse is an historic complex centred on a 14th century Carthusian Monastery.

Following the Dissolution, its buildings were rebuilt as an extensive mansion house in the 16th century, and a charitable school and almshouse in the 17th century.

Charterhouse School moved to Surrey in the 19th century and the almshouse (Sutton’s Hospital) remains the primary occupant of the site.

This charity, in partnership with the Museum of London, has revealed its heritage to the public. After the site was bombed in 1941, the extensive damage repaired with mixed success in the 1950s.

This repair has allowed many opportunities to constructively restore, and sensitively adapt the most historic wings of the site for new uses in the continued life of the charity.

The project provided public access to a hidden treasure, the built fabric of which has witnessed key moments in the history of England and Europe. From a vastly improved and redesigned public square, the public is invited via a new entrance into a new reception, education room and museum facilities.

5 Aldermanbury Square In June 2001 Eric Parry Architects was appointed to propose and develop a masterplan and building design for the site of the existing Royex House adjacent to London Wall. Following analysis of the vehicular and pedestrian routes through the site, a scheme was developed to create a new public space connecting Wood Street and Aldermanbury Square with access to the Barbican High Walk.

The façades are formed in stainless steel cladding enclosing an all perimeter structure within a double height arrangement.

Detailed consultations with the Corporation of London Planning Officers developed the brief and arrangement for the new public space, as well as establishing agreement in principle to the overall massing and detailed design of the façades.

The new 18-storey building raised above the public space consists of two staggered wings divided by a receding central section that admits light into the triple height ground floor reception space, linking the two entrances.

5 Aldermanbury Square was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize 2009.

It won a RIBA Award 2009 and both Regional (London) and prior to this a National Commercial Workplace at the British Council for Offices Awards in 2008.

“This bold commercial building sets a new benchmark for this part of London. An innovative structural frame allowed the architects to produce an incredibly elegant building with a timeless design quality.”

60 Threadneedle Street Following the win of a limited invited competition in June 2004, Eric Parry Architects was commissioned to develop proposals for part of the redevelopment of the site of the former London Stock Exchange building. The building occupies a prominent site at the junction of Old Broad Street and Threadneedle Street in the heart of the City of London.

The new ten storey office building with a lower ground floor and basement, incorporates retail floor space on ground floor and part of the basement level on the site of the old Market Hall Building.

The project won City Development of the Year at the Property Week Office Development Awards 2009 and was shortlisted for a RIBA Award in 2010.

“The result is an intriguing and singular act of imagination that appears like a shadow or a lacuna in the streetscape, one that reflects as much as it absorbs.”

30 Finsbury Square Eric Parry Architects was appointed by Scottish Widows to develop and achieve planning approval for a new office development in this prestigious square.

The square was laid out in the 18th century as a residential square but, due to its location, it became an important commercial centre close to the City of London in the 20th century.

The project is in a Conservation Area and required the demolition of a locally listed 1920s structure. The project team carefully considered the conservation issues and design, with public consultations with the local authority and local forum groups.

The building has won an RIBA award, AIA/UK Design Excellence Award, a commendation from the British Council for Offices, and was shortlisted for the 2003 Stirling Prize.

“If there is one office building that has spawned imitators, it is the heavy, stately façade of Eric Parry’s 30 Finsbury Square office in the City of London, a triumph in claiming a civic aspiration for a commercial building. It takes its place as the best building of any era on Finsbury Square.”

10 Paternoster Square 10 Paternoster Square occupies a ‘keystone’ position in the centre of William Whitfield’s masterplan. As well as fronting on to Paternoster Square, the structure maintains an animated presence in the urban framework with an entrance on Newgate Street.

The London Stock Exchange was operational by May 2004, and the Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, formally opened the new London Stock Exchange building on 27 July 2004. The building won the New Build category of the Stone Awards 2004.

A north-south pedestrian ground level walkway offers access through the building King Edward Court is the headquarters of the London Stock Exchange.

The form and articulation maximise the development within the height constraints of St Paul’s. The stone façades sweep to the new public space and loggia overlooking the cathedral. The stone façade and cladding was completed with a flying platform above the main site entrance.
