Newfoundland

A wide range of studies to verify safety and optimization for this eye-catching addition to London’s Canary Wharf

Newfoundland is a 220-meter, 58-story residential tower in Canary Wharf, comprising 636 units and distinguished by its striking diamond-patterned skeleton façade. The building combines bold architectural design with advanced engineering, ensuring safety, comfort, and performance for residents. Key features include a tuned sloshing damper to mitigate wind buffeting, careful placement of HVAC intakes and exhausts, and measures to reduce snow and ice hazards. Extensive wind studies and aeroacoustic assessments confirmed that the tower’s distinctive façade would not generate whistling or vibration, while stack effect analysis optimized building performance. Newfoundland exemplifies how innovative design and rigorous engineering can create a visually stunning, functional urban residence.
