UK - London Flickr Group Photowalk - Aldgate - 15-16 Minories 01_5009419

The recently completed Hilton Hotel at 15-16 Minories was for me one of the highlights of last October's London Flickr Group photowalk around Whitechapel and Aldgate.

At the time I had no idea that this was actually a refurbishment of a 1960's building so even greater kudos to everyone involved in the design and construction.

From the Acme website, "Canopy by Hilton London City, the UK’s first Canopy by Hilton hotel. Set within the multi-million-pound Minories development, the 340-room hotel champions the local neighbourhood and celebrates London's East End.

Aon Insurance used 15-16 Minories as their Headquarter until 2002, when the buildings fell out of use. To avoid extensive demolition, we worked with the client to modify and adapt the existing building for the demands of a contemporary hotel. A new wing was added, new public routes created at grade. The original facade consisted of load-bearing concrete fins.

The facade was stripped back, and insulation added to improve thermal performance. The new cladding celebrates the retained pinstripe fin appearance in folded three-dimensional metal to create a dynamic hotel identity unifying the old and new wings. Seven different fin shapes are used to compose a diagrid pattern across the elevations and the use of different colours of each fin side creates the impression of light and shade even on the north facade."
