London 2014-20 Hopkins Architects This is the redevelopment of a building in a prime location adjacent to Liverpool Street Station. As well as providing a new office building, this project improves connectivity to the Broadgate estate and station and reinvigorates the surrounding public realm with enhanced retail. We stripped the 1987 existing building back to its structural frame, relocated cores to create more open and flexible office layouts, and created a new central atrium. To create a modern identity, the original cladding is replaced with a sinuous glazed facade. An additional three floors of office accommodation were created whilst retaining the existing foundations and a large proportion of the existing steelwork, thereby significantly reducing the embodied carbon in the new building. New escalators and pedestrian walkways inserted into Octagon Mall improve permeability through the scheme and create a dramatic Broadgate entrance for passengers emerging from Liverpool Street station. 100 Liverpool Street achieved BREEAM Outstanding rating and WELL Gold certification. |
