2020 Digital Lecture Series: 20 Ropemaker Street

This new 27-storey commercial office building, on the City Fringe has now started on site, and when complete in 2023, will bookend the emerging cluster of towers around CityPoint Square.

The design evolution of this new City icon, dealing with a transition in the townscape, features an articulated natural stone façade, a stepping form, and an innovative and challenging structure that creates the opportunity for varied floorplates with no centre core, and multiple roof terraces. In dialogue with principal architect and the client, the design approach looked to create a next generation of workspace that promotes wellbeing in a creative and collaborative environment, successfully leading to the biggest letting of 2020.
