Principal塔楼的竣工是Principal广场总体规划的最后一部分，该混合用途方案其位于肖尔迪奇（Shoreditch）和伦敦市交界处，它利用该地区丰富的工业遗产创造了一个繁荣的新社区。
它包含一栋高15层的办公楼，是亚马逊伦敦总部的所在地，旁边是伦敦最高（50层）的住宅楼之一，并设有六个小餐馆和一家酒吧，形成了一个360度活跃的临街环境，将城市的活力向北延伸。
The completion of Principal Tower is the final piece of the Principal Place masterplan, a comprehensively planned mixed-use scheme on the border of Shoreditch and the City of London that creates a thriving new neighbourhood, drawing on the rich industrial heritage of the area. It comprises a 15-storey office building that hosts the London headquarters for Amazon, alongside one of London’s tallest residential buildings, the 50-storey Principal Tower, with six eateries that wrap around the building at street level and a light bar, creating a 360-degree active frontage that extends the vibrancy of the City towards the north.
伦敦金融中心与创意产业东区之间的关系在塔楼的体量中得到了体现，它看起来像三个细长的体量。塔楼面向肖尔迪奇（Shoreditch）的居民区，从地面层看较低，而从西侧则反映了城市的高层建筑。中心体量在两者之间升起，为天际线增添了优雅美。
The relationship between the creative, formerly industrial east end and London’s financial centre is expressed in the tower’s massing, which appears as three slim volumes. Where the tower addresses the residential neighbourhood of Shoreditch, it appears lower from ground level, while from the west it reflects the high-rise nature of the City. A central volume rises up between the two to provide an elegant marker on the skyline.
这座50层高的建筑提供了各种户型公寓，顶部是壮观的顶层公寓。从内到外的设计，在标准层上有八套公寓：四套两居室和四套一居室。方形楼层在两侧的中心延伸，以形成十字形平面，最重要的是八个角，每个角形成一个弯曲的阳台。
通过以这种方式最大化周长，标准层上的所有单元都是双层立面，将入口置于公寓的中心，以消除不必要的走廊。卧室被实心壁板封闭，以保持私密性，而公寓的其余部分则采用玻璃幕墙，并由遮阳鳍片保护。
每间公寓的转角处都有一个弯曲的阳台，用青铜外观提供了一个双层立面-从外部看，这可以软化塔楼的轮廓，增添丰富的质感，并形成与周围的典型城市建筑形成对比的住宅规模。
The 50-storey building offers a variety of apartment sizes, topped by spectacular penthouses on the top. Designed from the inside-out, there are eight apartments on a typical floor: four two-bedroom apartments that occupy the main corners of the plan, and four one-bedroom apartments. The square floorplate has been extended in the centre of two sides to create a cruciform plan and most importantly eight corners, each one of which forms a curved balcony. By maximising the perimeter in this way, all the units on the typical floors are dual aspect, with a very efficient plan that places the entrance at the heart of the apartment to eliminate unnecessary corridors. The bedrooms are enclosed by solid cladding panels for privacy, while the remainder of the apartment is fully glazed and protected by shading fins. Every apartment has a curved balcony at the corners that provides a double aspect with bronze exterior detailing – externally, this softens the tower’s profile, adding a rich texture, and creates a residential scale that contrasts with typical City buildings that surround it.
该塔楼提供85,000平方米的灵活办公空间，是亚马逊英国总部的所在地。建筑的主入口通向一个新广场，与周围的城市环境建立了一个活跃的界面，并形成了一个与社区建立联系的场所。
在室内，该建筑被设计成一个21世纪的仓库，可应对工作场所不断变化的性质，并提供更具交互性和灵活性的模型。创新的办公楼层跨度超过100米，允许不同尺度的办公空间组合在一起，从大型开放式区域到小巧的空间，可增强协作和创造力。
Providing 85,000 square-metres of flexible premium office space, the office building houses the UK headquarters of Amazon. The primary entrance to the building opens out onto a new plaza, creating an active interface with the surrounding urban environment, and generating a place that establishes connections within the community. Internally, the building is designed as a 21st-century warehouse that responds to the changing nature of the workplace, offering a more interactive and flexible model. Spanning over 100 metres, the innovative office floors allow for an exciting mix of spaces that operate at different scales, from large open-plan areas to small pockets of space that enhance collaboration and creativity.
南北立面上的三个“翼核”提供了自然收缩点，赋予室内空间韵律感，其在建筑立面上已清晰地表达出来。它的分段形式回应了肖尔迪奇（Shoreditch）的工业建筑遗产，当从城市向北移动时，给街景带来了一种连续感。金属和玻璃的精致材质为建筑提供了独特的肌理，其明快的青铜结构框架与该地区历史悠久的铸铁结构相得益彰。
Three ‘wing cores’ on the north and south facades provide points of natural contraction that impart a spatial rhythm to the interior volume, which is clearly articulated on the building’s facade. Its segmented form responds to Shoreditch’s industrial built heritage, bringing a sense of continuity to the streetscape as you move from the City to the north. The refined materiality of metal and glass offers a unique texture to the building, with an expressed bronze structural frame that references the historic cast-iron structures found in the area.
