The story

The story behind the work.

Squire & Partners translated the garden squares, terraces and mews of Belgravia into a contemporary residential composition that opens the former barracks site to the public.

Three apartment buildings use different cuts of Portland stone, deep bays and botanical metalwork. More than two acres of public landscape, a retained chapel and active uses make the phase part of a wider neighbourhood rather than an isolated enclave.
