London will have a new addition to its skyline,
renderings of the project by DBOX, architecture studio Eric Parry Architects has updated its
plans for the One Undershaft skyscraper in Central London,
the studio recently submitted a
planning submission to update the design and slightly increase the
height of the planned building, the updated plans would increase the
skyscraper's height making it, by one metric, the joint-tallest building in the
UK. It will be increased from 304.94 metres Above Ordnance Datum (AOD) – a
level used for mapping – to 309.6 metres AOD
the building is planned to contain 160,000 square metres of
offices along with a restaurant and cultural spaces on the 10th floor, it will
be topped by a two-storey viewing gallery with 360-degree views across the city
and educational galleries that are planned to be curated by the Museum of
London,
Eric Parry Architects founder Eric Parry commented, "The
new scheme will still be the tallest in the city cluster and retains the upper
floors for educational and public access through a collaboration with the
Museum of London," he said in a statement on the studio's website, "The
revised proposals will enable us to deliver a more sustainable building with
enhanced urban greening." with so many people still working from home it makes me wonder will all of this office space be needed?
