Architect appointed to design scheme鈥檚 tallest element
Eric Parry Architects has been appointed to design a 29-storey office tower at Bishopsgate Goodsyard on the edge of the City of London.
The architect replaces PLP which stepped away from the scheme two years ago after disagreement over its plans for 46- and 38-storey residential towers.
The 4.4ha Shoreditch scheme on a sensitive City fringe site that has been derelict for years is being masterplanned by FaulknerBrowns with elements of the scheme designed by Buckley Gray Yeoman, Chris Dyson and Spacehub.
There are no images yet of Parry鈥檚 proposals for joint developers Hammerson and Ballymore.
Parry is the architect behind One Undershaft which would be the tallest building in the City.
The building will be located on the western edge of the site, opposite Amazon鈥檚 headquarters at Principal Place and the adjacent 50-storey Principal Tower residential building built by Multiplex and designed by Foster + Partners.
John Mulryan, group managing director of Ballymore, said Parry was the 鈥渘atural choice鈥�, possessing the skills and experience to create 鈥渟omething outstanding that acknowledges the history, character and energy of Shoreditch鈥�.
The Goodsyard proposals also include a series of seven- to 14-storey blocks with up to 250 homes. The site will include 130,000sq m of offices along with 16,250sq m of retail and a 300-bed hotel. A park is planned for the top of the grade II listed Braithwaite Viaduct.
There will be another public exhibition of the scheme early this year.
