'one new change' by jean nouvel

the jean nouvel designed ‘one new change’, which is currently under construction
close to st paul’s cathedral in the city of london, has been named both the overall
and mixed use winner in this year’s MIPIM architectural review future
project awards.

the new building forms the interface between st paul’s cathedral and the city. it is one
of the largest projects to be undertaken in central london.



a new route from cheapside to new change is open to the sky and orientated to create
a new view of st paul’s cathedral framed by the building. this ‘slot’ extends to the central
pedestrian crossing culminating in an atrium rising through the full height of the building
and containing a public artwork installation.
 
the central atrium also provides access to the roof where a restaurant and café facilities
with public terrace provide extensive views of the cathedral and london skyline.
 
above the retail accommodation, the building has five floors of offices, arranged around
four cores. the building is serviced at basement level with vehicular access via a ramp
off bread street. the design delivers 10% of the building’s energy needs from renewable
sources on site in line with the mayor of london guidelines for major developments.
