The
Willis Building
The Willis building in Friars Street, Ipswich was officially opened
in June 1975. Designed by Lord Foster, the building has won many
awards and is one of the youngest buildings to be given Grade 1
Listed status.
The building is easily recognised by its unique glass cladding -
890 tinted panes, plus another 180 round the restaurant. Three escalators
rise up through the central atrium of the building to the rooftop
restaurant and the roof itself, complete with lawn and privet hedge.
It was from this roof top area that these 360 degree images were
taken.
The original site of the building contained shops, housing, a derelict
brewery, a gunsmith and saddlers. The roadway was diverted to leave
a heart-shaped area. By stretching the plans to the very edge of
the site only four floors were needed to meet the original space
requirements.
