St Martin's Court, Paternoster Square

St Martin's Court occupies a sensitive historic site in the centre of Sir William Whitfield's masterplan for Paternoster Square. A single underground road serves all the office buildings thereby enhancing pedestrian permeability and freeing up the way the streets lead back into the City. The building provides a mix of office and retail space and the design reconciles an efficient internal arrangement around a central atrium with a series of unique facades, each responding to the scale and quality of the surrounding streets and to the setting of St Paul's Cathedral.
