The goal of this project was to re-establish a prominent City of London address with a contemporary identity, while respecting the building\u2019s existing structure. Working alongside Morey Smith, the vision was to create a refined, hospitality-led environment defined by transparency and lightness throughout.<\/p>

Material selection played a critical role in achieving this balance. Every element was carefully considered to withstand high-traffic use while maintaining a sense of elegance. Durability and long-term performance were key, aligned with the client\u2019s ambition to future-proof the building through robust, low-maintenance and sustainable solutions.<\/p>

Adding the Woven Mesh<\/h3>

A defining feature of the project is the use of woven mesh across both exterior and interior applications. The fa\u00e7ade incorporates TXZ-3 woven mesh panels, chosen for their three-dimensional profile, which introduces depth and subtle reflectivity. Finished in a Gun Metal PVD coating, the mesh enhances the building\u2019s openness while presenting a sleek, contemporary exterior.<\/p>

Internally, a bespoke ceiling system was developed using S-32 woven mesh, fabricated into a hinged raft system with folded, drop-down panels. This allows for easy access to services above while maintaining a clean and uninterrupted aesthetic. The solution ensures that services are neatly concealed without compromising light penetration or overall design intent.<\/p>

The same S-32 woven mesh is also used within the lift cars and bar gantry, where its semi-transparent stainless steel construction provides durability for heavy daily use while introducing a subtle reference to heritage within a contemporary setting.<\/p>

Providing Sustainable Materials<\/h3>

Sustainability formed a key part of the specification. Both TXZ-3 and S-32 woven meshes are manufactured from recyclable stainless steel, supporting circular economy principles. With a long lifecycle, the material reduces the need for replacement and can be fully recycled at end of life.<\/p>

The use of PVD finishing further strengthens the project\u2019s environmental credentials. Compared to traditional electroplating and painting, this process eliminates the discharge of gases, water waste and harmful residues. Plant-based solutions are used during preparation, avoiding solvents and toxic chemicals while achieving a high-quality finish.<\/p>

The Final Result<\/h3>

280 Bishopsgate demonstrates how a single material can be applied across multiple elements to create continuity and cohesion throughout a building. By integrating woven mesh across the fa\u00e7ade, ceilings, lift cars and gantry, the project achieves a unified architectural language while delivering on performance, sustainability and design quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
