A new 84,000 sq.ft office and retails development designed by Robert Adams Architects and sited in the West End of London.
Constellation Grey; Red Sanhe & Kashmir Gold granites adorn the Whitbed Portland Stone. All the stone was fabricated into precast panels at the Marble Mosaics factory in Somerset.
The 3 granites were sourced from Realstone's partner in China and the quality and carvings were to the highest standard. For the more complicated and unique 3m wide over-dormers a 1:1 mock-up was produced and sent to China as a template.
The Sanhe Red contrasts well with the Portland on the double height ground floor columns.
The result, acording to Robert Adams is a modern steel framed building wrapped in a progressive clasical facade using stone. A state of the art manner combined with traditional craftsmanship to provide a striking and complementary addition to the heart of London.
