Ove Arup and Partners – 8 Bishopsgate

The building is characterised by its attention to detail, holistic approach to sustainability, and rigorous integration of structure and services into the overarching architectural vision. Conceptually, the building challenges the traditional tower by breaking the massing into smaller blocks, allowing the tower form to address the site constraints and bring human scale to the building.

Designed and delivered using Modern Methods of Construction, the 14-storey hybrid structure provides 93,000sq.ft of revitalised workspace, energising Bristol’s city skyline with an impressive structure that epitomises modern and sustainable DfMA construction.

Rockwell’s regeneration project at Vetro has completely transformed this location, anchoring the local area with new homes, jobs, and investment, promising a better future for the community.
