20 Fenchurch Street, London

This landmark structure took shape in the City of London back in 2014. 20 Fenchurch Street (dubbed the Walkie Talkie) enhanced the skyline, as this 38 storey tower has an iconic and unique structural shape rising to a height of 177m.

From a relatively narrow base, the building gradually flares outwards providing larger floor plates on the upper levels. Each floor has a unique size and the final office level 34 achieves an impressive increase in floorspace of up to 60%.

Topping off the structure is a fully enclosed sky garden that will include catering facilities as well as 360 degree views over the capital. William Hare engineered, fabricated and erected 8,000 tonnes of structural steel on the project.
