Last year I wrote about the difficulty facing the owners of 8 Canada Square in Canary Wharf after HSBC announced it was moving out. Post-pandemic, companies want smaller offices with more WFH, which made it extremely tricky to find a new occupant for an enormous 45-storey tower. But converting it is tricky too — it’s much wider and deeper than residential buildings and is hermetically sealed meaning ventilation is tricky. So what then? I found out by interviewing Elie Gamburg at KPF architects, who have put together a wildly ambitious idea: cut chunks out of some floors to add terraces and smaller floors. Plus, with an ingenious natural ventilation system much of the machinery can be ditched — creating a new observation deck at the top of the iconic Norman Foster-designed tower. It looks set to be the world’s most ambitious conversion project — but also a model to follow as more empty skyscrapers will need to find a new purpose. Read all about it in the link below 🏗️ 🏙️👇🏻
