100 Bishopsgate is a robust, meticulously detailed commercial office building which is adaptable for future changes, but which also restores the City of London's Medieval fabric. The building's form is simple yet dynamic, transitioning from a parallelogram at its base, to rectangle at the crown, resolving the complex step change from intimate urban grain at ground level, to a tower housing highly efficient commercial floorplates. This intricate geometric interplay produces both sheer and articulated tectonic facade expressions, and results in efficient footprint which maximises the development opportunity, responding to both the urban context and modern agile office requirements, while also creating the largest column-free flexible floorplates in the City.
