Owner Land Securities Architect Robin Partington Architects General Contractor To be confirmed Engineering Office Waterman Group, London 1 New Street Square is a development that will build upon the success of Land Securities’ New Street Square scheme. The floor plates offer flexibility and enables panoramic views to be enjoyed. To optimise awareness floor to ceiling glazing is combined with solar shading to reduce solar gain in an effective cladding system. The arrangement of a centre core with perimeter columns is very efficient, with a floor plate providing circa 20,000 sq. ft. of office floor space. Efficiency of the clear spans from the central core to the perimeter, the height constraints imposed when working within St Paul’s viewing corridors and the stepping back of the upper levels contributed to the selection of the steel structure. The global analysis was done using SCIA Engineer. The detailed design was done using the design modules and the substructure elements and the four lower levels were designed using the concrete design module. The entrance was moved to beneath the south east nose of the building and introduced a cantilevered structure. Columns that were supporting the nose of the building could not be taken to the foundations so a hung structure was introduced. A cantilevered plate girder was used at the plant room level with a 7.5 m cantilever and a 20 m back span. Structurally the design has to control deflection of the structure to avoid any impact on the cladding system such that the cladding is consistent around the whole building perimeter and no larger movement joints or special gaskets are required. 1 New Street - London, United Kingdom SE
