Moor House - 120 London Wall

Architect	Sir Norman Foster
Date Built	2004
Location	London Wall and Moorgate
Description
A nineteen-storey office building that cost £183 million to construct in 2004. Foster's website says of it that, "At ground and first floor levels, the building is given over to shops, restaurants and bars. The façade is stepped back at these levels creating a covered walkway that relates to the height of the low-level buildings opposite and to the ‘human’ scale of the immediate environment." Apparently it has a shaft beneath it to link the building to the up-coming Crossrail line. It also has what are described as the deepest foundations of any building in London which have been designed to protect it in the event of future tunneling. Foster adds that, "The service areas are housed in a central core, allowing for efficient and highly flexible office space in keeping with current requirements. This arrangement also frees up the façade, giving views out to the City from each side of the building."
