The project comprised of the careful and classical redevelopment of the public art gallery at Buckingham Palace, the Queen\u2019s Gallery.<\/p>\n
John Simpson & Partners were keen to ensure that the redevelopment of the existing Queen\u2019s Gallery would utilise the classical architectural style and bring synergy to the Gallery and the Palace\u2019s design.<\/p>\n
Portland Stone was specified and the Project Team visited Albion Stone\u2019s quarry to select a suitable stone from the Quarry Control Samples.<\/p>\n
Once the range had been reviewed, Independent Basebed was chosen. The construction of the Gallery utilised recycled Portland Stone already on the building with the addition of a new continuous cill course of Portland Independent Basebed.<\/p>\n
Portland\u00a0Stone supplied Independent Basebed for an imposing to the entrance to the Gallery from Buckingham Palace Road, which included 8 grand fluted columns spanned by 3 metre stone beams to create a Portico featuring a dark red granite frieze.<\/p>\n
Additional Portland Stone was also supplied for the Queen\u2019s retiring room.<\/p>\n
