160 Queen Victoria Street

London, UK

The new corporate headquarters for Mellon Bank comprises offices and a trading floor, and is located on the site of the former Times Newspaper Headquarters on 160 Queen Victoria Street. The site falls within one of the designated Strategic View Corridors, intended to protect long distance views of St Paul's Cathedral. The contemporary design reflects its use whilst remaining respectful of the scale and character of the existing urban context.

Define Engineers developed and engineered the main entrance facade on the proposed renovation scheme for construction. We are employed by the specialist facade sub-contractor OAG Ltd.
