The Milk Street/Gresham Street corner has a distinctive colouration and its form is curvilinear at roof level. The building marks this important corner by extending the roof form to the ground and gradually sets back over the full height of the curved facade. At ground level, the distinctive double revolving door design anchors the design and provides an extremely powerful focal point.
The chosen design called for a pair of fully automatic Circular Prestige CP2200AY TALL revolving doors incorporated within a bespoke stainless steel-clad structure that both forms the unique shape and supports the entire façade. Each rotating doorset has a diameter of 2200mm and a turning height of 3500mm.
Although built inside the overall stainless steel structure, the curved walls of the revolving doors feature red glazing rather than stainless steel panels to conceal the structure behind. A 3500mm high single swing, pass door with overhead automatic operator was also supplied to provide disabled and delivery access.
