Sam Potter, lead architect at Make, said: “The beauty of this project lies in recognising it is simply the latest layer in the history of this site, the next trace to be remembered. We’ve designed state- of-the-art offices, but it’s the combination with the public realm that has attracted the occupiers, not just the commercial spaces themselves. It is about bringing in a social, human, tactile scale to the City, and the architecture is all the more successful for the spaces around it.” Tim Wells, Development Director at Brookfield Properties said on behalf of the joint venture: “The  scheme’s ability to connect modern business with  historic  London and offer new perspectives from the revitalised high level  walkways  sets it apart from any other development in London  and further strengthens  Brookfield  Properties’ place-making credentials.  At  London Wall Place,  we have developed world class office space  in an exceptional and unique environment  for the benefit of  all  the buildings occupiers, neighbours and visitors alike.” THE PROJECT’S CONCEPT LIES IN REFERENCING THE DEEP HISTORY OF THE SITE, FROM THE ROMANS THROUGH TO POST-WAR MODERNISM.
