Fielden House

I had the opportunity to work on this high profile project as executive architect during my collaboration with Adamson Associate architects; I was in charged to manage the design coordination and construction of all the common areas such as entrance lobbies, lift lobbies, amenity areas (including gym and spa area, cinema, lounges, work hub, meeting rooms, building manager’s office) roof garden and external rooftop swimming pool.

In 2013, Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Adamson Associates were appointed by the Sellar Property Group to design a slender residential tower with generous public realm amenities at street level, to complement the now occupied, Shard and Place buildings.

The scheme is both respectful of its historic context on St Thomas Street through the choice of facing materials, while clearly acknowledging the cluster established by The Shard. The 29 storey-tower steps back in section, maintaining sight lines of The Shard in local views. At the scale of the city, the proportions of The Shard remain unchanged.
