Sheppard Robson對倫敦Aldwych House進行「戲劇性」屋頂擴建的規劃特許。該專案耗資 1500 萬英鎊，位於西敏保護區內，將在地標性 Midtown 辦公大樓頂部安裝一系列幾何折疊形式，增加 8,500 平方英尺的高品質辦公和接待空間。
The Westminster City Council has granted planning permission to Sheppard Robson for a 「dramatic」 rooftop extension to London’s Aldwych House. The £15m project - situated within the Westminster Conservation Area - will add 8,500 square feet of high-quality office and reception space by installing a series of geometrical-folded forms on top of the landmark Midtown office building.
該建築結構采用鍍鋅材料，並「精心」響應了建築主立面的「古典構圖」，希望透過使其與周圍的屋頂線保持一致來改善 Aldwych 住宅的比例。它還被定位為可以欣賞南岸和城市的景色，同時控制太陽能增益。
The structure, clad in zinc and 「carefully」 responding to the building’s 「 classical composition」 of the main elevation, hopes to improve the Aldwych House’s proportions by making it consistent with the surrounding rooflines. It is also positioned to frame views towards Southbank and the City, while controlling solar gain.
Sheppard Robson 合夥人 Dan Burr 表示：「倫敦這一地區屋頂擴建並不常見，我們很高興我們的設計說服了委員會，大膽改造屋頂線條，以敏感和堅定的態度進行設計，是一個可行的選擇。」
「This is an area of London where rooftop extensions are not commonplace and we’re delighted that our design convinced the committee that bold transformations of rooflines, which are designed with sensitivity and conviction, are a viable option,」 stated Dan Burr, Partner at Sheppard Robson.
「目前， Midtown 是一個令人興奮的工作場所，許多由世界級建築師和倫敦政治經濟學院等主要機構設計的計劃都已在籌劃中或初具規模。」
「Midtown is an exciting place to be working at the moment, with numerous schemes by world class-architects and major institutions like the LSE on the drawing board or beginning to take shape.」
