Caruso St John is currently preparing the construction phase for the West Tower at the Hardturm site in Zurich. The façades will be clad with floor-to-ceiling folded chrome-steel sheets, for which initial samples have been developed. Through their surface, depth, reflections, and shadows, these elements combine to form a distinctive figure in the building’s elevation.
Planning permission has been granted for the Riverside Project at Magdalen College in Oxford. The project is focused on enhancing the social heart of the college — a series of rooms on the east side of the estate clustered around the Old Kitchen Bar and the river terrace overlooking the Cherwell. The scheme will increase social and teaching space, improve access, conserve existing listed fabric, and reduce energy loss as part of an estate-wide programme of decarbonization.
