Hey guys.! I'm back with yet another build. However, this time, it is an entrie for Jduartemillier's 500 Subscriber Contest. This is a 1:1 scale replica of the actual building, the Leadenhall Building also known has the CheeseGrater located in London. I find this building fascinating after watching a documentary about the construction of the building. Its amazing how the whole building is assembled instead of being built on site and that the north core(yellow part of the building) holds all the elevators, bathrooms, etc. Also, the north core is so heavy, it moved the building towards the north a couple millimeters, but enjineers kew it would happen so they put pressure into the steel frame to adjust it. There are so much more information about this. I suggest watching the documentary that is provided. That's pretty much all thats left to say, and good luck to the others who are participating in the contest!

Thank you Qmans for providing a schematic of my building.

Wikipedia Information:


122 Leadenhall Street is an address on Leadenhall Street in London where the 225 m (737 ft) tall Leadenhall Building is located. The commercial skyscraper, opened in July 2014, is designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and informally known as the Cheesegrater because of its distinctive wedge shape. It is one of a number of new tall buildings recently completed or under construction in the City of London financial district, including 20 Fenchurch Street, The Pinnacle, and an unnamed project at52-54 Lime Street.


The site is adjacent to the Lloyd's building, also designed by Rogers, which is the current home of the insurance market Lloyd's of London. Until 2007 the Leadenhall site was occupied by a building owned by the developer British Land and designed by Gollins Melvin Ward Partnership that was constructed in the 1960s. That building was demolished in preparation for redevelopment of the site. By December 2009, the site was cleared but construction had stalled. The project, initially delayed due to the financial crisis, was revived in October 2010 and Oxford Properties is now co-developing the property in partnership with British Land.


In May 2013, the co-developers announced that the building is over 51% pre-let, with tenancy agreements reached with insurance broker Aon and insurance companyAmlin.
