HDR | HURLEY PALMER FLATT
HDR | Hurley Palmer Flatt provided building engineering design
services and specialist IT, AV, security, fire engineering and acoustic
services for the now completed Principal Tower, which is designed
by Foster + Partners in City fringe.
The tower is formed of three slim volumes: with a lower face
towards the more residential side of Shoreditch, a taller element
facing west reflecting the higher-rise nature of the City, and a
central volume rising up between. The 50-storey tower houses 299
high specification apartments and resident amenities including
spa, pool, gym and cinema screening room.
The development also provides affordable housing units together
with the shell and core renovation of the Victorian ‘Light Bar’
located on Shoreditch High Street.
