The judging panel praised the project, commenting upon the unique, high-quality design and exceptional precision in its delivery. They also referred to the nature in which the mix of uses have been seamlessly knitted together with a large section of London’s Roman City Wall restored and displayed as a centrepiece.
The mixed-use building creates a new, high-profile destination in the City of London and includes 656-beds of high-quality student housing, incubator, and flexible office space, as well as a café and a public exhibition space which houses a preserved section of the original Roman London City Wall.
