| Description |
|
|
KPF say of this
building that it features, "... a
distinctive origami of fins,
introduces a lively, dynamic
environment to Holborn Viaduct,
creating an architectural focus on
the Farringdon/Holborn axis.
Responding to its urban context, the
simple, organic form of the building
softens the mass of the development.
The skin is a series of curves
influencing and influenced by views
and sightlines to and from the
site’s city location. The striking
façade of twisting fins over a light
glazed curtain wall gives a strong
visual identity to the scheme.
.... The new building achieved a
BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating in
recognition of its energy
efficiency."
