Designed with Zaha Hadid Architects, the Galaxy Soho building comprises four main domed structures which are linked by bridges and platforms between curving floor plates to create a visually flowing environment that surrounds a series of open public spaces. The building has 18 storeys and houses offices, with the top three floors used for restaurants and cafes. The facades are enclosed in aluminium panels with glazing set from floor to ceiling within the floor plates. Newtecnic contributed to the design of the external envelope and its procurement for construction.
