Architect\u2019s view<\/h3>\n
With 65 Davies Street, we set out to blend connectivity, sustainability, and architectural heritage into a seamless expression of contemporary workplace architecture. Having started the design over 15 years ago, to integrate with the Elizabeth Line station below, our challenge was to create a building of enduring adaptability and quality while setting new standards for sustainability and wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Our design reflects the area\u2019s legacy of terracotta fa\u00e7ades, intricate craftsmanship and natural heritage. Clare Twomey\u2019s artwork, inspired by local flora, brings life to the fa\u00e7ade, while native wildflowers climb a biodiverse trellis, linking the building to its natural context and adjacent green spaces. Inside, the lobby design celebrates the building\u2019s connection to its context and history, integrating shapes from former building footprints in the finishes, carpets and furniture to create a tactile link to the past in a space that all users engage with daily. The materials help to maintain a dialogue with the building\u2019s surroundings, using complementary materials and colours, including stone and bronze.<\/p>\n
We always set out to create exceptional places to work in. Office floors feature generous terraces, high ceilings, and openable windows that flood the rooms with natural light. These spaces are supported by top-end cycle facilities and changing rooms to promote healthy lifestyles. Through all these different initiatives, we were able to achieve WELL accreditation, BREEAM \u2018Excellent,\u2019 and Wiredscore Platinum certifications.<\/p>\n
In 65 Davies Street, I think we have created a building that feels truly at home in Mayfair and that will contribute to the long-term success of this vibrant urban area.

Client\u2019s view<\/h3>\n
One of the best-connected offices in London, 65 Davies Street is a fantastic addition to Mayfair, blending heritage and modernity to create outstanding office space that blends seamlessly into its historic environment. It\u2019s testament to its design, amenities and the quality of the space that it was fully pre-let so far ahead of its completion.<\/p>\n
Alongside South Molton, the West End\u2019s largest mixed-used development, and our transformation of Grosvenor Square into an extraordinary urban garden, 65 Davies Street forms part of a wider series of investments to ensure Mayfair remains a pre-eminent place for visitors, residents and businesses.
