Situated within a historical and major working hub in London, Sixty London is a signature multi-award winning 312,000 sq. ft. commercial development that brings wider regeneration to Holborn Viaduct.
The building responds to the surrounding urban environment with its simple and organic form that softens the mass of development. Sixty London is set out over 11 levels and is notable for its striking façade which is characterised by an array of gently twisting vertical aluminium fins. In 2013 Amazon set up their head office within the building.
We were appointed to carry out the lighting design for all internal public areas and external building façade. The building was designed to optimise its energy efficiency and achieved an BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating on completion.
