The presence of the Roman City Wall and of sight lines from the houses in neighbouring Amen Court necessitated the development of a very unusual building section with a slanted atrium bringing plenty of light into the heart of the building.
The design of this building provides high quality modern office accommodation with flexible good-sized floor plates. The entrance to the office space is located centrally in the elevation with service entry and loading offset to the south. The general size of a typical office floor is 10,000sq ft, and the new building fulfils the needs of a professional of financial user, enabling tenants to establish a new headquarters.
