• The proposal seeks to maximise the retention of the building’s structure, and to reuse materials where possible.

  • The fundamentals of the building, including its circular footprint and sculpted form, are to be retained as part of the proposal.

  • Modifying the floorplates to create versatile and efficient internal spaces, enhancing the long- term viability of the building, and attracting high- quality occupiers for both office accommodation and publicly accessible uses on the ground and lower ground floors.

  • Improving the building’s environmental performance by replacing the outdated glazing with a new easy-to-clean façade that includes passive solar shading

  • Enriching London Bridge City by introducing new cafés, shops, and restaurants, generating employment opportunities, and increasing the local amenity for everyone.

Our Proposal

The Opportunities

  • Featuring increased biodiversity, redesigned planting, opening up of The Scoop to include a multi-use internal space, new seating, and the removal of the current ‘garage’ structure to connect and extend the public realm, fostering a more dynamic environment at London Bridge City.

  • The existing building has inactive and blank façades around most of its perimeter at ground level. The proposal will modify the footprint of the building and the adjacent Scoop with more public frontage, enabling new retail, food and beverage offerings for the public.

  • The original core and superstructure will be retained as far as possible to ensure that new embodied carbon is minimised. The proposal will make use of both passive and active sustainability measures to reduce operational carbon. We will prioritise flexibility and recyclability in the future.

  • The proposal retains the distinctive elements of the existing building’s form and the original core structure where possible.
