Located in the historic Mayfair Conservation Area, 60 Curzon is one of London’s finest new residential buildings. The building’s façade, with its verticality and elegant curves, is detailed with intricate stonework, bespoke terracotta tiling and bronze accents. Behind this crafted exterior lies a complex and finely tuned machine for living, that embraces the history and culture of its surroundings.
60 Curzon houses 32 luxury apartments, including two penthouses and a two-storey townhouse. The apartments, with interiors designed by the late Thierry W. Despont, feature generous floor to ceiling spaces that bring in high levels of natural light. Private balconies and stepped terraces on each level surround a lush central garden. This generous green space is a rarity in Mayfair and provides residents with a zen-like sanctuary. Residents also have access to top-of-the-line amenities, including a luxury spa and wellness centre, underground car gallery with valet service, temperature-controlled hobby rooms, and an exclusive club lounge with private access to the ground floor restaurant.
60 Curzon’s façade embraces a tradition of local craftsmanship, with hand-set Portland Stone elevations featuring bespoke accents that recall the historic detailing of the nearby Georgian townhouses. Handcrafted bronze balustrades accentuate the curves of the building’s frontage, which is inspired by the historic River Tyburn that used to run below Curzon Street. The solid bronze doors at the entrance to the lobby and restaurant are bespoke and patinated, adding to the building’s refined aesthetic. At key moments, the Portland Stone steps back to reveal accents of dark green, hand-glazed terracotta tiles developed in collaboration with Studio Christine Jetten.
The complex site – with its busy surroundings, layers of history and lattice of underground transport networks – called for technological innovation. One such method, top-down construction, was employed to cut the build time, whilst box-in-box acoustic separation meant that apartments can enjoy complete silence.
In addition to its impressive design and amenities, 60 Curzon has also been sensitively integrated into the local streetscape. The building’s massing has been carefully sculpted to provide a smooth transition of scale from surrounding buildings, and at street level, new planting, public art, and extended pavements have been installed to comfortably integrate the development into the surrounding public realm.
