The Crystal

This has been a long time coming, we was simply transfixed when we first came across this building  the sharp angles, creating the shape of a butterfly made purely of steel & glass unique in its kind, but yet sitting comfortably in the cosmopolitan skyline that is London. You can imagine our happiness when we found out it was a green building, built purposely for sustainable urban environments. If your ever down that way be sure to check it out.

Name: The Crystal by Wilkinson Eyre Architects for Siemens

Brand Concept: A multi-faceted urban world, its shape represents the many facets of sustainability and the complexity of urban life. Inspired by the Great Exhibition in 1851 at Crystal Palace.

Materials: Steel & glass

Discovery: on the banks of Royal Victoria Docks
