The West Winter Garden acts as public space between the 32-storey, 40 Bank Street building and the 30-storey Lehman Brothers Headquarters. It provides convenient access to the Jubilee Place retail mall development below ground, while also serving as a major address and reception area for the combined development.
Due to the exposure of the entire building’s structure, the size and proportion of each structural member and every connection required careful consideration. This also made the careful coordination of all electrical and mechanical elements a crucial aspect of the overall design.
