FROM THE ARCHITECT KPF
❝ Chapter London Bridge will occupy a commanding position on the London skyline and deliver high-quality student accommodation; flexible, affordable, start-up space; and public realm improvements.
The building integrates with the existing urban fabric. Activated on all four sides, the ground floor is open, welcoming, and flexible. Retail units and lobbies intertwine with meeting space at the ground and first floor and amenity space at Level 2, overlooking the street. At its base, the façade is set back behind a metal-clad colonnade, creating wider pavements. ❞
