BFLS rechristened and uses wind energy to power up Strata SE1

Hamilton Architects rechristened itself as BFLS recently with a name clubbing the initials of the four founders, Ian Bogle, Jason Flanagan, David Lawrence and John Silver. Changing names isn’t all the company has done though. They have also taken a step greener with an added modification to the 408-apartment tower at Elephant and Castle.

Three wind turbines are currently being installed at this 43 storey tower, each having 15 blades. These turbines will have a 9m diameter rotor plane. The building, the Strata SE1 will be the first with integral wind turbines and will set a green example to companies around the world. These turbines will produce around 50Mwh of power annually and will provide 8% of the towers power consumption. More green buildings like these are sure welcome in our neighborhoods.
