65 Davies Street Receives Commendation at 2025 Structural Steel Design Awards
October 27, 2025
65 Davies Street, PLP Architecture’s office building above Bond Street’s Elizabeth Line station, has been awarded a Commendation at the 2025 Structural Steel Design Awards. The award recognises the project’s architectural clarity and the team’s sophisticated handling of complex technical constraints. The awards ceremony took place on 23 October at Landing Forty Two in the Leadenhall Building.
Developed by Grosvenor, 65 Davies Street responds to its prominent Mayfair setting with a refined material palette of terracotta, stone and bronze, and integrates embedded artworks that reflect the site’s natural history. The project was designed to accommodate the new Crossrail infrastructure directly below, with extensive vibration isolation and innovative air handling strategies ensuring comfort and continuity for occupants above.
The judges praised the “clear concept from the reference project right through to completion” and highlighted the way the team “met the challenges from isolating vibration, noise and accommodating the air vents from the train movements below with great sophistication in the detail and contextual response.”
The building comprises six floors of Grade A office space and was fully pre-let ahead of completion. It has achieved multiple certifications, including BREEAM Excellent, WELL and Wiredscore Platinum, reflecting its commitment to both environmental and user performance.
