18-19 Buckingham Gate

Westminster

Set within the Birdcage Walk Conservation Area with close views of Buckingham Palace, our design for this elegant and sophisticated scheme converts two existing office buildings into a new residential address incorporating 20 prestigious apartments across six floors.

With a context of varying façades and uses, we responded to the issues of overlooking and privacy, which were the key drivers to the building’s form and layout. With façades rich in detailing and materiality, we developed an architectural language of solid, opaque and fritted surface planes, each responding to either a view or opportunity. The building’s quality is further conveyed through the use of bespoke and handmade elements.
