The Carter, 11 Pilgrim Street

• Sector: Commercial
• Contractor: ISG
• Location: London

Originally built in 2001, The Carter has undergone a major refurbishment, which has involved substantial reconfiguring of the floor plates and core areas.

The building is based right behind the City Thameslink station’s south entrance, a stone’s throw from St. Paul’s Cathedral.

102 steel doors and 117 timber doors, including single bi-fold doors for the accessible WCs on each floor, were specified. The bi-fold design ingeniously allows sufficient width for a wheelchair, without causing an obstruction to other passers-by when being opened.

ISG was the Main Contractor. The Architect was Stiff & Trevillion.
