Design for Three-Tower Development in London Released

Squire & Partners has designed striking commercial towers in Southbank, London, that will be part of the new Triptych Bankside development, World Architecture News reports. Forming a new part of the central London skyline, the development is a mixed-use group of three towers across a 68,000-ft² plot. The first two towers are occupied by 169 luxury apartments, while the third will feature 9,900 ft² of retail space. The development will also provide residents and locals with access to a 7,000-ft² climbing gym; an independent, ethical and sustainable coffee company; and several other developments that have already signed to be a part of the space. Building developers JTRE London are also planning to have a 4,000-ft² office headquarters on the fourth floor, while other large corporate groups have been slated to occupy the seventh floor. The building has already been awarded BREEAM Excellent and a WiredScore Platinum certification, making it one of the only buildings in Europe to achieve that standard.
