Architects are accused of failing to take adequate account of safety risks after a man is said to have been crushed by a falling window at a high-rise residential tower on London’s Embankment. The claim relates to an incident in 2018 at The Corniche, a tower block known as a luxury development. According to reports, Mick Ferris, 53, was crushed when a window fell about 26 storeys from a penthouse level. The case alleges that those responsible for design or safety planning did not properly address the danger posed by the window system, and that relevant risk information should have been recognized and managed before the incident. The proceedings focus on whether the architects involved met professional duties in assessing and mitigating hazards associated with the building’s facade and window installations. The reports describe the physical circumstances of the crash and identify the man injured, while the dispute centers on professional responsibility and whether appropriate precautions were taken.
