This new corporate headquarters, the fourth iteration of the Rothschilds London home since 1809, consolidates the Banks previously dispersed facilities within one building but also makes a number of important urban moves. It reinstates the historic visual connection between St Swithins and Christopher Wrens neighbouring Church of St Stephen Walbrook, hidden from public view by the previous New Court developments. The new building is organised into a central cube surrounded by three adjoining annexes and a rooftop tower. It is lifted on pilotis above street level to allow views of church and churchyard through a covered entrance square. This sequence of new public realm and vistas gives a quiet public presence to this previously private institution. The attention to detail and combination of materials used throughout the building gives a sense of understated elegance.
