80 Fenchurch Street

The 80 Fenchurch Street project, developed by LSI Stone in London, represents a significant innovation in the processes of applying natural stone facades. This building, conceived by TP Bennett Architects and developed by main contractor Skanska, has 24,000 m² of offices and residential spaces clad with Portuguese limestone Moleanos.

The main innovation of this project lies in the application of the facade through a curtain wall system developed by Focchi and manufactured by LSI Stone, which considerably reduces application time. Unlike traditional facade application, with this process approximately 20 minutes are needed to install each unit, representing a revolution in the way natural stone facades are applied.

For the 80 Fenchurch project, more than 1,600 panels were produced to cover the entire building, with approximately 40 panels being applied to the building’s facade per day.
