metal and glass

Richard Rogers conceived this building office as a mécano of standardised components built in factory and then assembled on site. The building, completed in 1986, with its aesthetic of expressive exposed industrial components is today an integral part of the City. While walking through the neighbouring streets it is possible to see parts of the glazed façades of the atrium or the service towers which are clad in stainless steel sandwich panels. The main building façade’s aluminium panels have the vision area glazed with double glazed units externally and single glazed openable inner leaves. An integrated heating system incorporated with the design allows warm air to pass between the cavity created by the external glazing and the inner leaves. Scope of Work 28,000 sqm of cladding and curtain wall
