Award RIBA London Award 2024, RIBA London Client of the Year 2024 and RIBA National Award 2024
The Black and White Building is the tallest engineered timber office building in central London. It stands elegantly in its Shoreditch setting, with a louvred fa莽ade offering tantalising glimpses to the world within. Its apparent simplicity belies its ground-breaking ambition and innovation.
The architects鈥� premise for the project was that genuinely sustainable architecture can be born out of restraint. Timber is the key component. By combining ancient construction methods with digital technology, every element was designed to be as efficient as possible. Inside, the tones and textures of the materials captivate the senses.
