Projected by Burkley Gray Yeoman and developed by Kajima Properties, the unique design of 77 Coleman differs this building from the others surrounding the area.
The refurbishment started in 2018 and has 7 luxurious floors with distinct finishes with a view to the Coleman Street Garden. It counts with communal spaces, offices (Category A), high ceilings and excellent views of the city.
The building has a contemporary design and unique finishes, making a flawless detail look. It features a new impressive façade using Portuguese limestone cladding, and contrasting with handmade brickwork, highlighting the new entrance on Coleman Street. The entrance of the building is framed in a way to highlight the beautiful limestone.
For the 80 Fenchurch project, the stone used was Moleanos Limestone with a honed finish. In total, more than 1600 panels were produced to cover the entire building, and around 40 panels are being applied to the building's façade, per day.
Moleanos limestone is a Portuguese limestone with light beige coloured background and a slight greyish tonality, with thin to medium grain and disperse brownish fine spots. This type of stone is very popular in the United Kingdom due to its similarities to Portland and resistance to weather conditions. Making it more subtle then Perlina in visual terms. Perlina Limestone is a dark creamy and beige colour with neutral tones, having a compact appearance with small to large size brownish fossils. The finish used was honed, identical to the polished finish, but the surface is smooth and without glare or light reflections.
