15 Clerkenwell Close is a building in Islington, London, designed by architects GROUPWORK with structural engineer Webb Yates Engineers, completed in 2017. The building's stone façade was controversial when it appeared, as the precise location of rough and smooth stones had not been fully detailed in the building's planning documents. Cllr Martin Klute of Islington Council called for the building's demolition, but this was overturned on appeal. The building won a RIBA National Award in 2018 and was one of six buildings shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2021.[1] The building is highly innovative, using the first construction of a multi-level trabeated system of end-shaped, rusticated massive-precut stone blocks.
