One Bank Street

Designed by architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and supplied by main contractor Canary Wharf Contractors, 1 Bank Street is a 27 storey steel-framed office tower featuring a sloping western façade and flexible design based around cellular beams.

The building was designed to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating, the highest level of certification a building can achieve for sustainability performance. The façade was designed to maximise the light coming in. However, due to its design, the loads that the panels need to withstand are significant.

Due to our extensive expertise in the design and delivery of glass façade fixings, Construction Fixing Systems were approached by Lindner facades to discuss the design.

CFS worked with Lindner facades to deliver a special design of cast-in channels for the façade, including the design and manufacturing of ski channels.
