Quill | 28 fl | Southwark | Pre-planning

***wjfox*** · May 19th, 2009, 02:50 PM

Apparently there's an exhibition on Wednesday and Thursday this week (4pm-8pm) of plans for "Quill" - a 28-storey tower to replace Capital House (the King's College London building) at the corner of St Thomas' Street and Weston Street.

http://www.london-se1.co.uk/whatson/event/7038

It is described as "an iconic piece of architecture" which will "create a new benchmark in student living as well as retail facilities and a new exciting public realm".

Interesting. Sort of like a cross between Strata and the Pinnacle.

It looks OK if a bit squat... looks like London will be getting another random-clad tower

appears to be a St Pauls sightline issue here from one of their graphics.

Quite exciting looking

chrissyb · May 19th, 2009, 06:12 PM

It's the Strinicle...

DarJoLe · May 19th, 2009, 06:19 PM

Is this between the Shard and the Three Houses?

Comdot · May 19th, 2009, 06:25 PM

i think it's cool all these tall residentials on the south bank. you get something you don't get living in the city- views of the city!!

***gothicform*** · May 19th, 2009, 06:35 PM

The architect's website refers to the bit at the top as an "organic spiralling mass". I like.

El_Greco · May 19th, 2009, 07:01 PM

Rubbish renderoids - cant get any idea of what its going to look like.

Tony Resta · May 19th, 2009, 07:04 PM

Looks cool, although the cladding will have to be top notch to make it a success.

Gherkin · May 19th, 2009, 08:16 PM

The skyscrapernews article's quite interesting

hellolazyness · May 19th, 2009, 08:33 PM

¿Qué?

london lad · May 19th, 2009, 08:45 PM

Seems the architects have pulled the project from their website.

Anybody in the area going to go along to the exhibition. There's bound to be large images & models.

TallBox · May 19th, 2009, 09:05 PM

too good for students, but a nice tower
