The Pavillion, 3 Broadgate, in London by Orms for sits in the heart of British Land’s wider Broadgate development with its cool, striking veil facade of curved glass and laser cut anodised aluminium tiles by Waagner Biro. As the heart of the Broadgate development and the city of London more ... widely, the pavillion serves as a connecting hub and focal point for the 150,000 people who pass through every week. Interestingly, the veil references the site’s past use as tenter grounds; with tiles appearing to be hung, referencing the medieval cloth making process.
