Kurzbeschreibung
The Queen Anne’s Gate office block in Westminster London was designed by the architect Fitzroy Robinson and Partners together with Sir Basil Spence in 1976. This office building was the headquarters of the British Central Office Administration from 1978 to 2004. The office building was then converted and is now the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice. In connection with this conversion, lead by main contractor Skanska, Waagner Biro steel and glass realised an entrance hall in the inner courtyard as a steel and glass structure. It consists of a folded roof and facade structure, supported by eight main columns.
