Duchess Street

Located to the rear of Chandos House in central London, 10 Duchess Street is a Grade II listed building owned by the Howard de Walden Estate.  This contemporary new glass and steel development for office use is juxtaposed with a listed façade retention. The original building lacked sufficient daylight; a problem remedied by the installation of a large glazed lantern behind the existing front façade.  Directly beneath this, occupants now enjoy a new double-height office space. The overall development approach enabled Chandos House to be restored to a high standard without any cost to the public purse.  The two structures are interdependent, but share common links both visually and physically.
