Pablo Fanque House
Pablo Fanque House (The Quad) is a residential tower located on All Saints Green in Norwich, England, providing 244 units of student accommodation as well as office space.[1] It stands on the site of the former All Saints Green Mecca Bingo hall,[2] which was demolished in 2014.[3] It stands at a height of 46.2 metres at its tallest, making it the fifth tallest building in Norwich. It was completed in September 2018,[2] at a cost of £15.5 million.[4] The building is named after Pablo Fanque, a popular showman who was born in Norwich and lived in close proximity to where the tower currently stands.[5]  DesignThe building is made up of five blocks which increase in height, ranging from eight stories to fourteen at its peak.[6] The façade of the building consists of light-coloured brick and dark-coloured metal infill panels.[1] The building uses stone wool insulation[7] to improve energy efficiency. The student common room is located on the top floor of the building.[8] At the rear of the building are 54 cycle parking spaces, as well as a courtyard which faces the Aviva office buildings.[1] The building won Bronze in the Architecture Residential Building category of the International Design Awards 2019[9] and was shortlisted for the 2019 Housing Design Awards.[10] References
