HKR ARCHITECTS and TELEREAL FORGE AHEAD IN THE CITY
 HKR Architects, the multi-award-winning
international architecture and design practice, has been granted
planning permission for Fore Street a £74 million, 13 storey,
342,000 sq ft Grade A office development for Telereal in the City of
London.
The scale and complexities of issues – sited on a former BT Exchange
over the proposed Crossrail tunnels and adjacent to Moorgate
Underground Station, together with complex issues with adjoining
sites and The Barbican – brought increasing challenges to the
scheme, which was unanimously passed by the planning committee.
The design responds to the constraints of the surrounding buildings
and the fact it falls within the strategic views of St Paul’s
Cathedral. Designed for large City occupiers the building creates
large open plan floorplates and rakes back at higher levels away
from the Barbican in a series of stepped roof gardens. Floating on V
columns the building is designed to cantilever over the proposed
Crossrail tunnels. The building elevations have been designed to
respond to their orientation and achieve optimum environmental
control whilst creating a building of light and transparency. The
building will be almost 30% better in terms of energy consumption
than current best practice, and 20% better than best practice in
terms of CO² emissions.
David Roden, director at the London office of HKR commented: “The
City of London and Square Mile businesses demand buildings of
exceptional architectural quality, which this scheme delivers. The
planners were very supportive of the design concept from the
outset.”
Nigel Reid, national development manager at Telereal said: “HKR
offers intelligent and commercial architecture. This striking
development will provide state-of-the-art office accommodation
appropriate to a world financial centre.”
HKR won an invited design competition for the commission in June
2006, beating major practices including Sheppard Robson, Hamilton
Associates and Horden Cherry Lee.
