Paradise is already home to an array of impressive contemporary architecture, and Three Chamberlain Square is no different.
An organic and evolutionary approach to design is manifested in its terracotta façade and classically-inspired detailing. It has been carefully designed to co-exist with and celebrate its existing environment and has a complementary relationship to the neighbouring Grade I-listed Town Hall.
An architectural masterclass, Three Chamberlain Square has been treated as an object whose base, middle and top can be expressed individually within a consistent overall design ethos. This approach has enabled Paradise to develop a proposal that is deeply sympathetic to its setting while being a unique new landmark in its own right.
Inspiration has been taken from Birmingham’s tradition of beautifully crafted Victorian buildings, reinstating some of the natural terracotta tones and fine tracery and motifs that previously existed in and around Paradise into the design of Three Chamberlain Square.
Ground level activity around the building spills out into the landscape, creating vibrancy and life at each of the building’s entrances, with the bottom two floors set back more generously from the upper floors to blur the boundaries between public realm, shared space and working environment.
