Three Sisters London – New Proposals
Celebrated UK architects David Chipperfield, Grimshaw and Hopkins Architects in the running to design the replacement for controversial Three Sisters project
‘Three Sisters’, Lambeth
(2008-09)
Design: Allies and Morrison
Three Sisters Dropped
News Update 12 Oct 2009
Proposal rejected by UK Secretary of State John Denham
Surprisingly the scheme is criticised not just for its (widley discussed) effect on key London views but for the actual appearance of the three towers and also for the way they interrelate to each other.
Site owners: London & Regional and Chelsfield Partners
