Willis Building

Modern Architecture London, United Kingdom

One of Foster+Partners' masterpieces, located directly across from the Lloyd's Building, won the 2007 New City Architecture Award for its unique architectural forms. Like other commercial buildings in the City, the Willis Building is only accessible during the annual Open House weekend, which varies from year to year.

Inside, together with offices, auditoriums and conference rooms, you can find panoramic terraces. Spectacular are the 21 elevators traveling at 15 mph. The Willis Building has been rated "excellent" in environmental impact of buildings, a title that is awarded to less than one in five for new construction.
