Ludgate Development

Design/Completion 1990/1992 London, England Ludgate Properties PLC 390,200 square feet Steel frame

Limestone, granite, painted metal, stainless Steel

A development consisting of three óuiibYngs on a very constrairreu¹ sńfcr, the project is situated over the ThamesJink railway in a dense/y popu/ated neighborhood. The height of the development is restricted by the St Paul’s Height View Corridor.

A complex civil engineering design realigned railway lines and removed a viaduct and railway bridge, creating a long, narrow site. The buildings are grouped around a new city square and narrow pedestrian walkways characteristic of the district.

The exposed structural steelwork and vertical metallic blue fins of 1 Fleet Place add depth and texture to the elevations.

At 10 Fleet Place, the dark granite and Steel facade is characterized by the strong vertical elements contrasting with horizontal metal spandrel panels and stainless Steel bands.
