Key Facts

Due to planning constraints on the height of the building, a very low profile steel framed construction was designed.

The building is on  a previously developed block which housed three derelict buildings with basements.  To support the superstructure through the infilled basements piled foundations were adopted.

Because the brickwork is such a key feature of the elevations, great attention was paid to the detailing.
