Stonework completed at new West End commercial development Download / Print Article
This modern eight storey office and retail development, which is located within Westminster’s Conservation Area, stands prominently at the junction of Bruton Street and New Bond Street. Designed by Rolf Judd for PRUPIM, Prudential’s property investment division, the £9m scheme provides 17,500ft2 of Cat A office space over the upper six storeys and 4,000ft2 of prime retail space to the ground and basement levels.
Design and build contractor Skanska appointed Putney & Wood to carry out the stonework package which includes Portland stone cladding and Karin grey granite plinth externally, and slate flooring and Portland stone wall linings in the reception. Internally the structure is unable to support the weight of 75mm thick Portland stone for the soffits, so Putney & Wood sourced lightweight, honeycomb-backed, composite panels which are used for the internal soffits and facias.
PRUPIM, which counts Bluewater shopping centre, Manchester’s Arndale Centre and the Oxford Science Park within its vast portfolio, has a specialist in-house team of environmental and health & safety specialists. To ensure safe installation of the 490X1000X75mm thick ashlar panels, a running beam was erected to support the stones while they were manoeuvred into position. Putney & Wood also installed smoke cavity barriers at every level and the project achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’.
As any fashionista will know, New Bond Street is one of London’s most prestigious shopping districts and the retail premises are currently occupied by the world renowned, Italian fashion house Prada.
