2 0 2 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I One Blackfriars “One Blackfriars is very high-quality – a specification at the level you would see in Knightsbridge or Mayfair, but with a design edge,” says Ian Simpson, Founding Partner of internationally recognised SimpsonHaugh & Partners, the architects behind the 50 storey masterpiece. The unique shape of the building is designed to play on the reflection of light, with its glass-paned exterior changing with the light; at sunset the tower will glow red, and on a clear bright day it will take on a blue sheen. Residents will not only enjoy the status of a residence in a landmark development but also the pleasure of living within one of the most architecturally impressive buildings in London.
