Platform lift JLP01_09_920288
Vintners Place, Upper Thames Street, Queenhithe, City of London. A platform lift in the corridor leading to the galleria at Vintners Place.
Laing undertook the £ 79m management contract for the construction of a 37, 000sqm high quality office development at Vintners Place between March 1989 and December 1992. Work on site began in June 1989 with the demolition of 10 buildings including Vintry House and Kennet Wharf on the riverside. The listed facade of Thames House along Queen Street Place was preserved and incorporated into the development. The project was the first within the City of London in modern times permitted to reclaim land from the Thames foreshore for its riverside facade. Vintners Place won an Interiors Special Award at the 1993 Natural Stone Awards for the variety in the design and types of marble used for the floors. They incorporated designs from St Peters and other churches designed by Bernini in Rome. The staircase design was based on one in the Vatican

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a platform lift in the corridor leading to the galleria at Vintners Place, located on Upper Thames Street in Queenhithe, City of London. The historical significance of this building is truly remarkable. Laing, a renowned construction company, managed the £79 million project for this high-quality office development between March 1989 and December 1992. The construction process began with the demolition of ten buildings including Vintry House and Kennet Wharf along the riverside in June 1989. However, they preserved and incorporated the listed facade of Thames House along Queen Street Place into the development. What makes this project even more impressive is that it was granted permission to reclaim land from the Thames foreshore for its riverside facade - a first within modern times for any development within the City of London. Vintners Place received well-deserved recognition for its exceptional design choices as well. It won an Interiors Special Award at the prestigious 1993 Natural Stone Awards due to its innovative use of various types of marble flooring. These designs were inspired by St Peters and other churches designed by Bernini in Rome. Additionally, one cannot help but admire their staircase design which draws inspiration from one found in Vatican City. This incredible photograph captured by Historic England Archive allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance embodied by Vintners Place.
