Description:
This redevelopment project to provide a new head office for the Crown Estate Commissioners involved the restoration and conversion of part of Nash's Grand Terraces of Central London. This is a Grade I Listed Building, the interior of which is of unique importance, being executed around 1860 by Owen Jones, a leading Architect/Designer of the day, whose publication "The Grammar of Ornament" still survives as a reference book on interir design. Hunter & Partner's new work and renovation details have been carefully executed to enhance and extend the life of the building, and sensitively incorporate the services essential to modern office usage.
