60 London, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), 2014. Typical office floor plate on upper leve
Sixty London replaces Bath House, a former mixed-use development designed in 1967. The new building updates the Holborn Viaduct site to match an increasingly vibrant district of London. Located on the main thoroughfare between the City and the West End, the design introduces a lively, dynamic environment to Holborn Viaduct, creating an architectural focus on the Farringdon/Holborn axis. Responding to its urban context, the simple, organic form of the building softens the mass of the development. The skin is a series of curves influencing and influenced by views and sightlines to and from the site’s city location. While the striking façade of twisting fins over a light glazed curtain wall gives a strong visual identity to the scheme.
