Another Win! Bloomberg London Wins Influential Architecture and Design Award – Named Business Building of the Year (Dezeen)

The Dezeen awards were judged by an international panel of 75 leading figures from the architecture and design world. The building is an exemplar of sustainability, with the highest BREEAM score of any major office development. The judges wrote: “Once inside, you enter a different world that’s energetic and exciting. The central atrium and walkways create a sense of dynamic energy. It is the epitome of a business building.”

Mike Bloomberg said: “We believe that environmentally friendly practices are as good for business as they are for the planet. From day one, we set out to push the boundaries of sustainable office design – and to create a place that excites and inspires our employees. The two missions went hand-in-hand, and I hope we’ve set a new standard for what an office environment can be.”
