Multiforms produced and installed the facade of the amazing Strata SE1 tower in London, UK. Here we take a closer look at the outstanding project...

Strata SE1 is the first development in the world where wind turbines have been constructed within the fabric of the building.The development has been crafted by a world class architect and its striking and bold design has enabled Strata SE1 to become one of London’s new Icons and a landmark for sustainability.

As the tallest residential building in Central London, residents benefit from a Zone 1 location, excellent public transport links and unrivalled views of the key London landmarks, recognisable throughout the world.

All apartments also benefit from full height glazing and are connected with open access fibre optic cable for PC’s, television and telephone allowing next generation broadband and high definition digital broadcast services to be delivered to each residents door.

Strata SE1 was designed by BFLS (formerly Hamilton Architects), led by Robin Partington and Ian Bogle. In his previous role at Foster & Partners, Robin was responsible for the early evolution of 30 St Mary Axe, better known to most as the Gherkin.

The views from a Strata apartment are spectacular and without equal – from all levels. The immense floor to ceiling windows open out onto seemingly endless vistas of London – it’s a vast panorama that’s not for the faint-hearted. All the sites of London are there on show- look west, for Big Ben and the London Eye and straight ahead for Tate Modern and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Look east, for the high-rises of the City of London and Canary Wharf and finally south, for the historic Crystal Palace.

Strata has taken its rightful place among the city’s architectural icons and has become a distinctive marker for Elephant & Castle.
