2025 SFE Awards Shortlist

7 August 2025

Eckersley O’Callaghan is delighted to see Banquet Hall, The Henderson shortlisted for two awards at this year’s SFE Façade Design and Engineering Awards, of which we provided structural and facade engineering.

SFE Awards


Also known as Cloud 39, Banquet Hall at The Henderson has been shortlisted for ‘2025 Project of the Year (International) – New Build’ and ‘Innovation (International)’ in the 10th anniversary of the awards. Recognised for its excellence and impact, Banquet Hall is a unique event space at the top of the 200m tower.

Completed in 2025 with Zaha Hadid Architects, Banquet Hall is enclosed by a 600m² skylight structure, an integrated composition of glass and long-span steelwork that maximises transparency. Without internal columns, 17m long steel beams acting as the primary frame were precambered to limit deflections. Glass beams, acting as secondary structure, support glass roof panels forming the double curved envelope were rationalised as flat and cylindrical individual panels to improve buildability.

Banquet Hall


Around the perimeter of Banquet Hall, 7.5m tall glass walls are frameless, without mullions or glass fins, offering uninterrupted views across the city.


We’re proud to see our innovative work recognised in these two categories!
