The name isn’t a gimmick. The façade, a striking series of sharp, angular panes, literally zigzags its way across the street. It’s a clever trick of light and shadow that makes the building feel alive, shifting its mood with the London weather. On a grey morning, it looks like a sleek, silver dagger; on a sunny afternoon, it glints like a modernist jewel.
This isn’t your grandfather’s office block. The architects at AHMM designed it to feel porous and public-oriented, breaking the monotony of Victoria’s corporate canyon. Fun fact: the building’s unusual geometry isn’t just for show—it maximises natural light on every floor, meaning even the deepest desks get a little Vitamin D.
