New Scotland Yard at Open House London 2018
The Met Police’s new home on the Embankment, created from the 1930s Curtis Green building with a new curved glass pavilion entrance and extensions to the rooftop and rear. Winner of the 2017 Prime Minister’s Better Public Building Award.
AHMM’s design for the Metropolitan Police Service’s new headquarters is a radical re-modelling and extension of the 1930s Curtis Green Building.
The design has transformed the building with the addition of an elegant curved glass entrance pavilion and rooftop pavilions and a reworking of the existing accommodation. The scheme has expanded the building’s floor area from 8,691sqm to around 12,000sqm through extensions to the rear, roof and front concourse; the contemporary design of these complements and enhances the architectural features of the original building and the materials, colours and proportions of neighbouring Whitehall buildings.
Inside the original building, a flexible office environment has been created to facilitate collaboration and interaction. The rooftop extension provides multi-use conference space and terraces, and is illuminated to give presence at night, symbolising the 24/7 nature of the building along with its civic purpose. A brick ‘carpet’ in the landscape outside the entrance references the distinctive striped brickwork of the neighbouring Norman Shaw North building, while the commemorative Eternal Flame has been set within a contemplation pool.
Новый Скотланд-Ярд, Лондон
