M by Montcalm Hotel / EC1V

Squire & Partners with 5plus Architects for SGP Contracts Ltd., 2015, design said to be influenced by Bridget Riley's ‘Nataraja’. 18 storeys, 269 rooms, sloping etched glass cladding. Nominated for the 2015 'Carbuncle Cup', but of course there's the Walkie-Talkie to compete with! Behind, finally completed but now rather obscured, is The Eagle residential tower designed by Farrells. London Borough of Hackney.
