Construction has started on a new-build seven-storey building on Blackfriars Road, offering 30,000 sq ft of grade-A office accommodation. Having secured a difficult planning permission on this constrained site, the project is due for completion in December 2012. The exposed insitu concrete frame is clad in anodised aluminium and high-performance solar-control glazing, featuring a double-height entrance storey, generous external terraces, and views towards the City of London. The building targets BREEAM excellent with environmental features such as exposed thermal mass, air-source heat-pump technology, and a photovoltaic array; - far exceeding Southwark's stringent carbon reduction targets.
