UK | Refurbishment and new build scheme with Farrells to convert listed seventeenth century buildings for mixed use including shops, offices and 25 flats and house creating a new urban courtyard. The project won a Civic Trust Award in 1985 for the first phase courtyard and houses designed by Gary Young and was recognised as setting the highest standards of design in the context of historic buildings. The courtyard, paved in York Stone, provided new entrances to the offices and flats creating a unique urban space in Central London and increasing the potential value of both retail on the street frontages and the upper floors. Historic fabric and details were retained on both exterior and interiors including over ten original staircases of varying late seventeenth and early eighteenth century designs. New buildings were designed for the corners of the triangular site for mixed uses. | |
