Large double height windows were incorporated into the pre-existing structure to allow natural light to illuminate the building and help create a showcase for the art of display.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the original building\u2019s location in Mayfair and the era it was constructed, 1990\u2019s Portland Stone was highly prominent on the fa\u00e7ade. Thus, to mirror the characteristics of the original building the new fa\u00e7ade was made out of our very own Jordans Basebed Portland Stone. Bronze powder coated aluminium has been added decoratively on the fa\u00e7ade to add a contemporary touch and helps emphasize Portland\u2019s distinguishable characteristics. \u00a0The choice of Portland stone means the re-development is more than sympathetic to its current environment within the Mayfair conservation.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; global_module=&#8221;201928&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_portfolio include_categories=&#8221;9,10&#8243; show_date=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_portfolio][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Architect\/Designer: Aukett Swanke Client: Mercury\/Phillips Main Contractor: Mclaren Construction Completion Date: 2015 Portland Stone: Jordans Basebed Scope of Project: Re-development of existing building Auckett Swanke transformed 30 Berkeley Square reinstating its traditional fa\u00e7ade.
