# Irregular Facade Towers KPF is Set to Build a Mixed-Use Structure in London By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kpf References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/kohn-pedersen-fox-architects-new-bondway-london-08-07-2014/) & [kpf](http://www.kpf.com/) The architecture firm [KPF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-pedersen-fox) will be building a tower in London intended for a variety of uses, from offices to retail space. The design is notable due to its facade, which has certain [irregularities throughout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belden-brick). Apart from the irregularities, the building is also made up of two connected rectangular sections. This shape makes the most of the space allowed for the design, and also allows it to stand out from the surrounding architecture. To try and have people connected with nature more in the busy city of London, the designers are putting a garden on the top section of the building, which will hopefully provide some sense of relaxation for individuals. KPF is currently in the process of planning for this design, which will hopefully start this year.
