One New Change London UK, designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel and Sidell Gibson Architects for Land Securities has won two MIPIM architectural awards, for Overall and Mixed-use.
The Land Securities scheme, which also involved Sidell Gibson as delivery architects, comprises 35,000 m² commercial and 25,000 m² retail space, was praised by an expert panel of judges for what has been achieve with this transformational landmark on "the most difficult site in Europe" due to its proximity to the Cathedral, and the planning requirements designed to safeguard views of St Paul's.
The Judges applauded the new landmark for transforming the whole image of this part of the financial centre, providing a new focal point for visitors and city users alike. They also observed that One New Change provides a refreshing contrast to the surrounding retro-architecture, providing a successful combination of ancient and modern, praising both the developer and the planning authority for showing "great independence of mind" against pressure to submit a more historicist approach.
One New Change also follows in the footsteps of London's famous "Gherkin" at 30 St Mary Axe which was awarded the "best of show" prize in 2003, marking the second time that a UK scheme has triumphed in the completion.
The eighth annual international awards competition has named a total of eight category winners, with sixteen additional projects awarded a "Highly Commended" prize by the panel of judges, selected from the hundreds of entries received. The winning projects showcase an international range of projects and practices, with schemes hailing from Austria, Denmark, Japan, Lebanon, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the UK.
