Our office building, 65 Davies Street, sits in a prime location a moment’s walk from London’s Oxford Street within Mayfair’s rich cultural heritage and directly above the new Elizabeth Line Bond Street Station. When complete in 2023, the building will be one of London’s most technically advanced and best-connected workplaces.
The challenge of the building was its design process, which began in 2007 so that it could be integrated into Crossrail station development, but with the knowledge that it would not be finished until more than a decade-and-a-half later. The building needed to be designed in such a way that certain elements were fixed, but other elements remained flexible so that it could adapt to what we knew would be a changing market. The project had a clear goal to provide high-specification workspaces that were healthy, future-proofed, and contributed to the surrounding local environment.
The offices of 65 Davies Street provide light-filled workspaces with natural materials and generous floor-to-ceiling heights of three metres. Balconies and terraces along the building envelope, with generous plantings and greenery, provide outside meeting spaces for occupiers on all floors.
The building’s materiality – a palette of terracotta, stone and bronze – responds to the neighbouring historic buildings, embodying the area’s rich heritage whilst providing a model for its future evolution. The local townscape is enhanced through a public art installation by Clare Twomey on the western façade and a green trellis installation on the south façade with local species of wildflowers selected to encourage biodiversity.
