The project had set Taylor on the trail of glazed tiles on Fenchurch Street in the City of London. Rather than specifying stone cladding, Taylor wanted a material that would offer more reflectance to give the building a lighter touch. The challenge for Jetten was to recreate nuances of handmade tiles on modern equipment. A mock-up was created that enabled KPF to specify the other facade materials to complement the glazed terracotta.
