Planning permission has been granted by the City of London for a new 15-storey innovative office building at 12-14 New Fetter Lane and 43 Fetter Lane, London EC4. Located on the western fringe of the City of London, at the heart of the district known as Mid City, the site presents a unique opportunity. Our aim has been to design a building that engages with its dramatic townscape context. Therefore the building forms a transitional element in the cityscape, while also improving the setting of Fetter Lane and Plough Place, creating a strong sense of place and identity. The dynamic form of the proposed building offers street vistas with changing skylines that will captivate interest when viewed from the surrounding streets. Designed with crisp modern detailing and to the highest standards, the building will become a recognised landmark and make a distinctive new addition to the Mid City district. The building features a tall single-storey ground floor level which includes the main building entrance, retail accommodation and service bay, with 12 floors of office accommodation above. The top of the building, above the final floor of offices, is articulated with a double-stacked plant room which contains two levels of plant, taking the total building height to 59.35 metres above Fetter Lane. Key Features: • Approximately 214,679 sq ft (19,944 m²) GEA of development. • Approximately 3,466 sq ft (322 m²) GEA of retail space at ground floor level. • A single basement level providing plant, storage and bicycle storage space. • The proposed pedestrianisation of part of Plough Place, creating a new landscaped urban space whilst improving the pedestrian realm and the active retail frontages. • A new and enhanced public realm at the base of the building, with improvement to the hard landscaping design of the surrounding streets. • Sustainability is a principal design consideration of the project. The building encompasses a broad range of sustainable responses, which will contribute to the environmental performance of the project - a 15.6% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and a target BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’
