London’s iconic BT Tower is set for architectural modifications, as new redevelopment plans reveal proposals for a luxury hotel, a rooftop swimming pool, public viewing spaces, and revived hospitality areas inside the Grade II-listed landmark. The project is being led by American hospitality company MCR Hotels alongside London architecture practice Orms. The newly released concepts mark the clearest indication yet of how the 177-meter communications tower could evolve from a largely closed telecommunications structure into a public-facing mixed-use destination.

The project transforms mud, sawdust, timber, and other bio-based resources into a responsive architectural system capable of evolving alongside its inhabitants. Through robotic 3D printing and AI-assisted spatial design, Inhabited Mud imagines housing that can…
