Office Building at Heathrow Airport, London


 
 
Office Building at Heathrow Airport
London: 1972-73

Located directly under the flight path of runway No 2, the permitted envelope for this 29,860m2 (321,400ft2) building was heavily constrained by flight safety contours.

The form derives from a study of the acoustic requirements that such a site necessitates, the deep overhangs shielding the faŤade from the higher frequency sound waves and the angled double- glazing combating the lower frequencies.
