EightyFen uses Portuguese limestone to slot into historic streetscape

TP Bennett has completed a 14-storey City of London office block which the practice inherited from Foster & Partners.

EightyFen - or 80 Fenchurch Street - was specifically designed to fit “timelessly” alongside Fenchurch Street’s historic mainstays, said TP Bennett.

The block uses solid Portuguese limestone for its façade and has a progression of projecting, flush and recessed windows that step inwards as the building’s height increases – maximising views from and light into the lower levels.
