The best, perhaps, of a pin-cushion of new skyscrapers nearing completion in the historic square mile of the City of London, the ‘Cheesegrater’ – which is what this 225m office tower resembles, albeit on a titanic scale – has been designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. It soars above the Bladerunner-style Lloyd’s Building also by Richard Rogers, and completed in 1986. The skeletal, all-steel “Cheesegrater” boasts a 30m-high public atrium, while glass lifts will soar up the sloping facade to the 48 floors above. (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners)
