The redevelopment plans for 99 City Road propose a modern, 34-story commercial office building. The aspirational BREEAM Outstanding scheme, of circa 59,000 sqm, takes a holistic approach to sustainability. The community focused ground floor design increases exterior public realm space by 280% and comprises 21,500 sqft of publicly accessible space. The building’s folded terracotta façade, inspired by the local area, will limit unwanted solar exposure and promote access to daylight. The design maximises retention (over 50%) of the building’s existing structure. To reduce energy demand, the design follows a “fabric first” approach using climate-based passive design to reduce the operational energy demand.
