The last of the 2,432 cladding panels on 1 Broadgate, in the City of London, was installed, on programme, just six months after the first one went in.

In August, the final panel was craned into place on the 13th floor of this development for British Land.

The extruded aluminium fins are powder coated in 19 different colours, transitioning from darker reds and pinks at lower levels up to cream and yellow towards the upper floors.

To add to the cladding’s striking visual impact, its aluminium elements were manufactured using recycled scrap, saving some 55 tonnes of carbon.

The cladding installation has been an exemplar of collaboration with architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Focchi Limited and our client British Land.

Congratulations to all involved in the creation of this new addition to the City skyline.

1 Broadgate is a highly sustainable, landmark 14-storey mixed used building, comprising 500,000 sq ft of offices to upper levels with 46,000 sq ft of retail beneath.
