Eric Parry plans ‘radical repositioning’ of City office block

EP Holborn Viaduct 1

Proposals would deliver three extra storeys at 15-year-old Holborn Viaduct building designed by Rolfe Judd

Eric Parry Architects has lodged proposals for a “radical repositioning” of a 15-year-old Rolfe Judd-designed office building at one of the City of London’s western gateways.

Its plans for 40 Holborn Viaduct would strip the 2008 steel-framed block back to its sub- and super-structure and add three new storeys – as well as extending the building outwards towards Holborn Circus with new planted balconies.

The redeveloped building would be 12 storeys tall and have a lower-ground floor and two basement levels.
