PROJECT: New Street Square, EC4
CLIENT: Land Securities
VALUE: £200million
YEAR: 2006-2008
TYPE: Professional Experience, Bennetts Associates Architects
New Street Square aims to create a new destination between High Holborn and Fleet Street serving the 'mid-town' area of the City, with a substantial group of new buildings set around a new public square.
A tightly planned series of pedestrian routes integrate the new development with the lanes and courts that characterise the adjacent Fleet Street conservation area. These pedestrian routes converge on the new square, with cafes and shops animating the street scene alongside office entrances.
