61-65 Holborn Viaduct is a 12-storey purpose-built student accommodation development in the heart of the City of London, providing much needed housing (including 35% affordable) for nearby universities. Planning architects Stiff + Trevillion Architects, together with project architects TP Bennett, have created a design that unlocks the potential of what is a truly unique site for developer Dominus. Located close to City Thameslink Station, the development will also have a public access roof terrace offering panoramic views towards St Paul’s Cathedral, and a public walkway to the soon-to-open Museum of London at Smithfield Market.
We are responsible for the full façade package, which consists of almost 7,300 m2 of unitised curtain walling and 1,600 m2 of stick façade, plus ventilated façades and perimeter works contributing to a total facade area of over 10,000 m2. We will be working closely with a client McAleer & Rushe to ensure smooth delivery of this project.
