WORLD FIRST INNOVATION
In what is considered a world-first innovation, rather than demolish and rebuild the 50 Bridge Street skyscraper, it is being upcycled, retaining 60% of the existing core structure. The tower is expanded, improved and recycled to create the new state-of-the-art Quay Quarter Tower with its new façade and building services, and doubled floor plate size.
The design optimises the embodied energy and resources inherent in the existing building and results in a saving 12,079 metric tons of embodied carbon in addition to reduced construction time and environmental impact.
