New London Architecture

33 King William Street

Built

JRA’s prominent new-build office development provides eleven floors of open plan office space, a double height reception and an expansive roof garden with panoramic views of the City.

33 King William Street is a new landmark office development situated on a prominent site in the City of London at the northern approach to London Bridge. It provides a long-term, high-quality contribution to the City that’s works contextually alongside historically significant buildings. The choice of glass and faience cladding uniquely reflects its setting whilst providing modern amenities including a double height entrance hall, flexible office space and an expansive roof garden with panoramic views of the City and the River Thames. The success of the development has been recognised with American bank Wells Fargo acquiring the building as their London Headquarters.

Resilient London: confronting climate change

Resilient London: confronting climate change

33 King William Street is a new landmark office development situated on a
prominent site in the City of London. Existing elements of the site were extensively
reused, all 160 piles, the reinforced concrete raft slab and drainage system were
salvaged whilst increasing the area of office space by 65 per cent. Sustainably
manufactured new materials were also specified that at end of use can be recycled,
for instance the natural terracotta faience cladding. The terrace features high
performance photovoltaics which are particularly effective on an island site. All
furniture uses FSC timber and the planting was selected to create a biodiverse
environment with native wildflowers encouraging bees and insects.
