JW3 is about Jewish life and culture but is open to all, a secular building that includes restaurant, auditorium, cinema, meeting rooms and rooftop nursery, and mounts an ambitious programme of activities. ‘Very sophisticated and well resolved both conceptually and in its detail...everything you touch feels considered and crafted,’ said the judges. A significant building for multicultural London.
