A GARDEN IN THE SKY
GRAPHISOFT
33 Central is a striking building located at the gateway to the City
of London. Topped with one of the City’s largest roof gardens, and
achieving a BREAAM Excellent rating, the building not only offers a
flexible modern office space but is also a fine example of sustainable
design and construction.
John Robertson Architects (JRA) managed the project over a ten-
year period, through feasibility studies and planning consent, to
detailed design and overseeing construction.
The original building at 33 King William Street was constructed in
the 1980s. In 2008 the then owner, property and investment group
Topland, asked JRA to undertake a feasibility study to refurbish the
existing building. However, following this study, the decision was
taken to demolish and re-build.
