WHITE LION HOUSE
MICA ARCHITECTS
White Lion House is a mixed-use building containing 13 social
and affordable rented homes in Central London, located at the
threshold of a new public space around Centre Point. It is the first
completed phase of the ongoing redevelopment of the Grade II
listed Centre Point complex. Undertaking a civic role, the building
acts as both a gateway to the new St Giles Square and defines a
new public space in front reinforcing the historic streetscape. The
building’s façades make sense of the site’s historic geometries –
facing both the exuberant modernism of Centre Point tower to the
north-east and the austere but radical Palladian spire of St-Giles-
in-the-Fields to the south.
