110 Marylebone High st
London
Project Description
This mixed-use development, in the heart of Marylebone, for the Howard de Walden Estate connects a number of historic buildings through a series of architectural interventions. CSK’s redevelopment of this central London site creates 13,000sqft of offices, a new nursery school, retail unit and fitness facility. The complex redesign involved a new infill extension, reworking of the circulation, opening up the original internal floor plates and a series of roof extensions to maximise the constrained plot.
The contemporary brick addition to St. Vincent Street houses the new stair core and links the historic fabric. CSK’s ethos of re-use and retrofit was central to the redesign, with an approach to retain as opposed to demolish, and to reveal the many hidden original architectural features.
Existing internal walls and soffits were exposed and cleaned up, revealing the texture and detail of the original materials.
