The Times Newspaper Headquarters  
 

 

An established landmark close to Tower Bridge, this prestigious office building attained the highest BREEAM rating for any building in London. Careful low energy design together with the incorporation of a central landscaped court enabled the development on this deep site to be naturally lit and ventilated. In turn, this allowed storey heights to be reduced, yielding a further floor whilst respecting the scale and height of adjacent buildings. Completely filling the site to reinforce the surrounding urban street pattern, at night the building acts as a beacon along a busy thoroughfare. To the rear projecting triangular windows are etched to ensure privacy to the neighbouring residential building.
