Exchange Square
October 16, 2006
Overlooking the square is Exchange House. Designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, it spans the rail tracks that emerge from Liverpool Street Station.
Although the site is surrounded by tall office building the square felt surprisingly open. This has been helped through the large archways which allows you to look down on Liverpool Street Station. The steps have been constructed from granite and polished to give a reflective quality. The square is softened with the grass area in the centre but is never walked on.
