Background
Architecture
It is the second building designed by SOM for Morgan Stanley in Canary Wharf after Founders Court. 20 Bank Street is a grid-frame structure with a skylit atrium. With a granite-clad core on its eastern side to shield against the adjacent DLR station, 20 Bank Street's design features a U-shaped configuration on its lower floors to maximize natural light, leading to a prominent atrium with a large glass wall. Construction began in 2000 and completed in 2003.
