1 Undershaft

Client: Perennial Real Estate

Eric Parry Architects has unveiled their competition winning design for a new tower within the heart of the City of London. The brief was to deliver an innovative world class building to replace the existing 1960s structure with a simple, elegant sculptural form, diminishing in profile in its upper storeys.

1 Undershaft will create a place for all who work, visit, or live in London. Central to the proposal is the ambition to create a new public space that can accommodate the increased number of pedestrians and cyclists who will be moving through this part of the City.

The building also acknowledges the importance of culture within the City. As well as providing spaces for the public at street level, it will offer a generous space at the top of the building for a free public viewing gallery, education centre and restaurant.

50 Fenchurch Street

Client: Axa Investment Managers

50 Fenchurch Street is an island site bounded by Fenchurch Street, Mincing Lane, Dunster Court, and Mark Lane. The site is owned by The Clothworkers’ Company.

The proposed 50 Fenchurch Street includes two listed buildings, the Grade I listed Tower of All Hallows Staining and the Grade II listed Lambe’s Chapel Crypt. Neither are currently accessible to the public as they are on private land.

50 Fenchurch Street will provide over 62,000 sqm of flexible office space arranged around a central core. Floor plates vary in size to maximise the building’s appeal to a range of City occupiers.

The proposed scheme sets the Tower within a new street level public realm, with the aspiration of providing public access to the interior. Lambe’s Chapel Crypt is to be relocated to a publicly accessible location on site, providing the opportunity to improve the Crypt’s presentation, setting and understanding.

1 Grosvenor Square

Client: Lodha

Following an invited competition, the Lodha Group (a major Indian developer) appointed Eric Parry Architects to lead on the design of their flagship London development at No. 1 Grosvenor Square. With the relocation of a number of diplomatic missions, the scheme reflects the changing nature of the Mayfair area, reverting the site to residential use and repositions

Grosvenor Square as the premiere Mayfair residential square.

Following detailed consultations with Westminster City Council and The Grosvenor Estate, a strategy of reconstruction has been developed by carefully recording and dismantling the most significant façades.

Subsequent reconstruction enables minor adjustments to the building’s hierarchy, sensitive contemporary interventions and the provision of basement car parking, residential amenities and enables structural acoustic isolation and enhanced building envelope performance.

R&D Headquarters

Client: Perennial Real Estate

An open ground floor provides a large covered public space with active uses of exhibition centre, auditorium and café which animate the space.

A basement car park and cycle store enjoy end of journey cycle facilities of showers and lockers. The building is highly sustainable and responds to climate and orientation to maximise the passive effect on reducing heat load and energy usage. It promotes responsible resource stewardship through conservation of water, rainwater harvesting, an integrated greywater system throughout.

Ahmedabad, India Workplace

Library

Client: CEPT

Embedded in the heart of the campus, the CEPT Library is imagined as a center, a catalyst for creating connections between students and professors of various academic departments. In keeping with the University’s ongoing shift towards a choice based pedagogy, as opposed to the traditional prescriptive pedagogy, the Library is intended to serve as a built manifestation of this aspiration.

Neutrally oriented at a central location, with separate and equal entrances on all cardinal directions, access to and identification with the building is collective, rather than selective. Through the resultant multiple associations nurtured, the Library creates an environment for interdepartmental exploration and enriched learning experiences.

Future Factory

The OLA Future Factory is a huge step towards an EV revolution in India. With sustainability and a green future at its core, the Future Factory campus is envisioned to be an extension of the core values. Being the first factory in India to have an all-women workforce, the Future Factory makes a statement towards a socially equal future for the country.

From the machinery, to structures, signage and overall look and feel, the OLA Future Factory has been designed and curated by our team to create synergy and balance. While the factory is typically a highly functional environment of serial production, the aesthetic simplicity, boldness and brand identity has been used as a mechanism to harmonise elements throughout the factory campus.
