KKS Appointed as Interior Architect by Heron Tower's First Tenant
Law firm McDermott Will & Emery has signed up to take approximately 25,000 sq ft over floors eight and nine of the tower. KKS Strategy is providing full interior design services.
KKS Strategy have been working on Heron Tower's development strategy with Heron International and KPF Architects since 2004. On 12 April 2010, Heron International held a 'topping out' ceremony to celebrate the building's structural completion. At 202m (663ft) tall (230m/755ft with mast) Heron Tower has overtaken Tower 42 as the tallest building in the City of London, a record Tower 42 held for 30 years.
KKS Strategy's work included the review of proposed atria options for the typical floorplate to resolve the most efficient and flexible floorplate configuration. The ideal floorplate informed the structural solution for the location of the core and columns - to increase potential planning options, allow uniform office sizes, and so maximise the marketability of the building. The tower provides 439,552 sq ft of office accommodation over 36 storeys and is due to open in February 2011.
