  • 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of A
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

Reinke FAIA RIBA Director, Stephan Reinke Architects Level 02, 28 Margaret Street, London W1W 8RZ Abstract As the workplace evolves in our vertical cities, the need for “think spaces” and the public realm to meet, create and innovate will become integral to tall buildings. These people places are designed to address the social challenges and enhance the co- working environments which are emerging in the dense urban context of our future cities. The design of sky terraces and the “spaces between” offer a greener, more humane and smarter work environment for the future. The public realm should no longer be held down, fixed to the ground plane, but rather become part and parcel of the upper levels of our workplace centers.

    22 ART GUIDE [JLL] VERSION 01: 25 11 2020 A GUIDE TO THE ART We have consciously designed 22 Bishopsgate to bring culture and colour into the everyday, working alongside The Contemporary Art Society, Maison Parisienne and a few other renowned creatives, to bring our space to life. These artists sat down to tell us a little more us about what’s on display, and their inspiration for each commission. 22 BISHOPSGATE — Culture Guide 2 OUR ART FOLIAGE INSTALLATIONS KARINE LAVAL https://www.instagram.com/ karinelaval/?hl=en Thanks to Karine’s artwork, much of the Lobby is transformed into an indoor garden. Three storeys tall and filled with imagery of plants, flowers and foliage, the pieces create an immersive ‘organic’ installation in the heart of the City. It was important to her that each installation evoked a sense of light and shadow, creating shifting ‘colourscapes’ as the light changed and played across the walls. The works were made to create a space that brought the outside in, allowing ABOVE: visitors and occupiers to reconnect Karine Laval, with nature, recharge and reflect. Heterotopia 2020 22 BISHOPSGATE — Culture Guide 3 OUR ART LOBBY TAPESTRIES RYAN MOSLEY https://www.instagram.com/ ryanmosley01/?hl=en Ryan has developed a series of 10 artworks for the Lobby. Part wall hangings, part collaged tapestries, the works address 22 Bishopsgate as a place of sanctuary. The artist’s starting point is the blanket. Each blanket features a human figure and is to be viewed like a stage curtain with a changing ‘cast‘ entering around it. Ryan is internationally regarded as a painter, so this commission is a new direction in his practice, as he begins working with textiles.
