The challenge

What had to be planned

  • Planned around the bus station, the station opposite and the tram line's overhead line stanchions
  • Retained historic shopfront façades while building behind them
  • Collaborated closely with the local highways authority on the CMP
  • Selected precast façades because of the logistical complexity of the site
  • Programmed basement and tower construction on a site with almost no space
