Redevelopment of building close to St Paul鈥檚 Cathedral

ORMS Architecture Design has won planning for the 拢35m revamp of a 20,000m2 London office block close to St Paul鈥檚 Cathedral.

ORMS plans to transform the building, called Millenium Bridge House, into a mixed-use building with a large rooftop garden and new cladding.

The site sits alongside Millenium Bridge on the North Bank of the river.

John McRae at ORMS Architecture Design said: 鈥淭his has been an opportunity to reinstate the line of the river frontage and the view of the entire entablature of St Paul鈥檚 from the south bank of the river.

鈥淲e have created a calm, elegant fa莽ade that creates an appropriate foreground to St Paul鈥檚 Cathedral.鈥
