“Located alongside the new Jubilee Line station at Canary Wharf, Citibank’s new headquarters occupies a key position in this emerging financial quarter of London and heralds the next phase in the area’s continuing expansion.” Organisationally the new building comprises two distinct parts: an office building to the west and a service core to the east...”  “The eastern tower rises higher than the western building in response to different height restrictions across the site. As well as preserving views to the west this allows the building to be opened up around a central atrium, fulfilling the client’s request for broad open spaces to encourage social interaction, and maintaining a key north-south pedestrian route across the site.”
