Deutsche Bank Bridge
A sculptural landmark joining two office buildings at 5th floor across Great Winchester St. in the historic City of London. An ephemeral sequence of glazed steel frames creates a transparent silhouette to control solar gain and overlooking while allowing long views.
The forms deals with the different levels at each end while creating a special place at its centre, not just a link, an exclusive extraordinary room to linger in, suspended above the city. A calm centre with dynamic approaches and a 3-dimensional interpretation of the bank’s logo.
“...a strong, imaginative and elegant solution.”
