1 Merchant Square - London

Architect Perkins + Will, Mossessian & Partners Developer European Land & Property Contractor Laing O'Rourke

1 Merchant Square is the signature building of the prestigious development project in Paddington Basin. The building consists of three interlocking triangles with pitched roofs, in total 21.500 m2 of cladding, including the roofs and internal atrium walls. Eyecatcher is the central triangle with red fritted glazing. Main difficulty for cladding design were the different slopes of each wall, resulting in many technically difficult corner connections.
