Notes | At 143 metres one of the tallest hospital towers in the world was re-clad to the design of Penoyre & Prasad, who chose United Anodisers colours for the project. As well as optimising energy efficiency and lowering running costs, the re-clad provided this iconic building with a distinct new profile. Although described as Guy’s Tower, the building is in fact two separate towers joined by a link structure. The taller 34 storey communications tower was insulated and clad in anodised aluminium panels with a strong geometrical fold; the 30 storey 1,250 sq m floor-plates of the user tower had new composite window and cladding assemblies fitted from the outside. |
