One One One, Old Broad Street
The stone architectural cladding has been pre-assembled and tensioned by means of stainless steel bolts.

6th and 7th floor: stainless steel balconies and sunscreens are supported by tension rods, anchored to the main structure by stainless steel brackets.

The entire work was characterised by the great level of care paid to finishing and detailing.

Peter Foggo Associates was formed in 1989 by a multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers and quantity surveyors, who had all successfully worked together for a number of years. The team was responsible for a number of distinguished and award winning projects (through the 1970s to 1990s) at Arup Associates, where Peter Foggo (1930 to 1993) was both a Partner and a Director. These projects were notable not only for their architectural quality but also for innovations such as pioneering use of the management contract at the Horizon factory, Nottingham and low energy office design at the Gateway Buildings, Basingstoke. The Finsbury Avenue and Broadgate developments in the City of London cemented the team's reputation for high quality commercial architecture built on time and to budget to fast track programmes. Competition wins for the Brno Technology Park in the Czech Republic and the masterplan and subsequent buildings at Leeds City Office Park enabled the practice to set new standards for low energy office design. The practice maintained and enhanced its reputation for contemporary rational commercial architecture in complex environments with projects in the City of London such as 111 Old Broad Street and 60 Queen Victoria Street. The practice's work completed to date ranges from small scale residential extensions (such as Sorrel House, RIBA Southern Region Prize 2002) to large scale urban mixed use masterplans and developments (such as Cannon Place, ICE Building of the Year 2011 and various other awards).

Technology

One One One, Old Broad Street

External cladding wholly realised by Focchi, developing the intricate details in co-operation with Foggo Associates Architects.

The five floor cladding: it’s composed of wide bay window glazing, vertically developed, which are connected by ventilated stone claddings, to disguise the armored concrete columns.

Glazing designed to have the smallest overall dimensions on the bay window corners, and special profiles together with structural silicone was used in order to get the maximum light.

Live Project

The site at 109-118 Old Broad Street, occupies a position in the core of the City of London, a part of which lies within the Bank Conservation Area.

The predominant materials used in the buildings in the immediate area are stone, masonry and glass, and, due to limited street widths, a number of buildings provide large window openings to maximise the light available inside.

The building One One One is sympathetic to its context, having a distinctive contemporary identity, with the requirement for a well lit office building providing modern flexible accommodation. The building’s facades respect the character and spirit of many of the surrounding 19th Century buildings, reinterpreting various traditional architectural devices in a contemporary, engineered manner and expressing the structural performance of the elements. The typical bay reinterprets the traditional architectural device of the masonry supported bay window. The degree of detail and visual interest echoes that of nearby traditional buildings.
