Project Description
150 Cheapside occupies a pivotal location in the City of London, a landmark site that demands a high-quality building of architectural distinction. The building, completed in 2009, has 182,740 square feet of office space on eight floors, plus 22,000 sq ft of retail in five ground-level units.
It has 9.500 m2 of curtain walling. Architectural features are Portland stones, vertical stainless steel fins and horizontal shading panels with photovoltaic cells. The Cheapside elevation is a natural ventilated, double skin wall, of which the single glazed external skin is supported by steel rods. The technical design of the cladding panels was mainly driven by the large width of 9 meters.
