120 Fleet Street

PROGRAM — The brief calls for the maximum amount of state-of-the-art offices with retail/leisure spaces. The envelope is challenging to define as the site is subject to a multitude of planning constraints.

SITE — The prime location includes the iconic grade II* listed art deco Daily Express Building from 1932 by Owen Williams. The rest of the plot is currently occupied by a commercial redevelopment from the late 1990s.

PEAK — The building keeps a straight profile along Shoe Lane, creating a naturally thin, tall peak at the star junction of Shoe Lane Plaza. Its height and slenderness at that north side create an iconic “Flatiron” moment.

POPPINS COURT SETBACK — From setback on Poppins Court to a straight profile on Shoe Lane.

FLEET STREET SETBACK — The building is setback from Fleet Street.

ALIGNING TO THE DAILY EXPRESS BUILDING — The building is aligned to the first two setback of the Daily Express Building.

GREEN MOUNTAIN — 

SOUTH ORIENTATION — The geometry results in south facing terraces on each floor, offering a wide range of office options for potential tenants.
