Atlas installed on Balfour scheme

27 Mar 13 A sculpture of Atlas, the Greek Titan, has been added to Balfour Beatty’s Sixty London commercial scheme for AXA Real Estate.

A key component of the £60m project is the rebuilding of the gatehouse at the southwest corner of Farringdon Street and Holborn Viaduct junction to its original Victorian design using traditional materials.

The Portland stone detailing has been reproduced to match as closely as possible the façade of the original building. The sculpture was supplied by Stirling Stone.

The new gate house will complete the existing set of structures that were originally erected on the four corners of the viaduct as a grand gesture during the Victorian era.

The project is scheduled for completion this summer.
