An elegant, new-build, unique black-fronted house in Mayfair’s Park Place. The seven-storey property, located in the St James’s Conservation Area, is a 21st-century interpretation of a traditional Mayfair home and includes a huge, double-storey contemporary oriel bay window at the first and second floor levels, partly-fronted by a delicate metalwork screen. A new four-storey green wall at the rear softens the impact of a neighbouring wall, along with a profile that pulls away from the wall and steps in from the embassy building next door, with a rolling curved roof providing a glass curtain wall to maximise natural light.
