Blue Fin Building
In 2000 Land Securities Properties Ltd appointed Allies and Morrison as the architects for the full redevelopment of the site then occupied by St. Christopher House and Tabard House, adjacent to Tate Modern. In contrast to the previous buildings, the new proposal reinstates a strong urban grain into the area with a series of streets and spaces relating back directly to Southwark Street to the south and to Tate Modern to the north. The new accommodation is divided into three buildings (Bankside 1,2 & 3) with a total of approximately 111500 square metres gross. Bankside 1, also known as the Blue Fin Building, is the biggest of the three. All the new buildings, which are primarily designated for office use, have shop, restaurant or leisure uses on the ground floor. This new streetscape, or public realm, will not only give the development a strong coherence and sense of place, it will also provide a much needed heart for Bankside.
