Theis and Khan remained mindful of the building’s aesthetics within the greater context of the neighborhood. Within the concrete frame, the highly insulated brick walls make direct reference to the surrounding Shoredich building types. The base of the building is a dark engineering brick, commonly used at ground floor level in this area to provide a strong damage-proof finish. The upper stories are designed to incorporate a yellow Danish brick that reflects the surrounding yellow London stock brick. In contrast to the rough texture of the brickwork, the windows are framed by a dark grey metal to correspond to the adjacent industrial buildings.
