This cubic-form mixed-use scheme in Mayfair combines retail at the ground floor with prime office space on top.
The architectural design of 150 New Bond Street’s key crossroad junction is characterized by a sleek, minimalist approach. The cubic form of the four surrounding buildings, all finished in Portland Stone, plays a crucial role in shaping this iconic area.
The double-height facade, catering to New Bond Street’s retail area, stands out for its flexible and forward-thinking design, embracing the evolving multi-height character of the street. The upper four floors, clad in stone, contrast against a cubic glass skin that offsets each floor, adding layers of complexity and dynamism to the architecture. This design subtly mirrors the rhythm of nearby landmark buildings, the “Time and Life” building to the south, while maintaining its own distinct elegance.
The top floor is particularly impressive with its lightweight glass structure, complemented by an open terrace—a much-coveted element in Mayfair.
One notable feature is the glass-to-glass corner, where the offset creates a striking visual that defines the built edge. The entrance is articulated by a forward-leaning glass facade that rises above the stonework, creating a floating cube effect that spans five floors. The reception area features a cast and sandblasted glass artwork by London based artist Georgina Griffiths.
