Slender, shiny and ethereal needle of Peninsula Spire, a 45 metres tall stainless steel sculpture, is the key landmark of Peninsula Square on Greenwich Peninsula in London.

Designed by Barr Gazetas Architects, constructed by Whitbybird London and made by Swiss company Tuchschmid AG, Peninsula Spire is a stunning artistic element of spectacular new contemporary public space in London - Peninsula Square. Its unusual geometry, invisible welds and a shiny surface are only three points, which describe this 45 m high steel mast. The triangular spire twists 166° around its own axis from the 2.5 m side lengths of the base tapering to down 10 mm side lengths at the top. The internal steel frame and the stainless steel outer shell together weight 34 tonnes.
