Deriving its name from its nature-inspired form, this proposal would enhance The Gherkin, one of London’s most cherished and recognisable buildings and offer a new state-of-the-art cultural and educational resource for Londoners and tourists. The ground level frontages of the proposed development will be further activated, contributing to the existing active ground level of 30 St Mary Axe, whilst offering opportunities for further surrounding active frontages. This will welcome pedestrians to the site and encourage walking. The Tulip promises wide cultural and economic benefits with a diverse programme of events.
