30 Crown Place, London EC2

The £65m office devlopment at 30 Crown Place, which occupies a site north of Broadgate, reached topping-out in May. The building has an interestingly textured fritted glass façade, with planes that project over the main structure, creating the main design feature. Installation work is by Lindner Schmidlin, who expect to complete at the end of this month. Project completion is scheduled for November. We are working as executive architect for the project. The concept architect is Horden Cherry Lee Architects.
