The City of Westminster has approved the latest plans by BFLS for the regeneration of one of the buildings that is part of the prime London shopping fare of Regent Street called Marcol House.
The project involves the retention of the grade 2 listed Portland stone façade that directly overlooks Regent Street allowing a new build to be constructed with a mansard roof rising above it, and the demolition of what is behind it, namely 33 Maragret Street which will be replaced by something more modern.
It's the back part of the site that has been designed to have a more architecturally up to date look with stone cladding on the external walls to help it blend in with the retained façade. It will contain vertical triple height openings which will contain the floor to ceiling glazing with the mansard roof above the stone parapet with metal-façed panels and double height strips of glass that maintain the vertical rythmn of the lower floors.
On the western side of the block however, the mansard roof is replaced by a sloping double-level roof terrace that helps preserve the rights of light with next door rather than completely overshadow it, whilst on top of the building will be a green roof.
At 32 metres in height, the scheme is massed to fit in with its neighbours and if built will contain 13,398 square metres of office space, 191 square metres of ground floor retail as one would expect for such a prime location, plus a residential element of 23 apartments at 23-24 Newman Street.
The developer of the project is Great Portland Estates, one of London's largest corporate landowners.
