Rathbone Place

Our involvement in Rathbone Place grew further into many other projects with GPE and was our initial scheme with Make Architects, which has also grown into many successful project collaborations, over the years.

Rathbone Place is a large mixed-use medium-rise scheme in London’s west End, including office, residential and retail programme.  The office component was quickly secured by Facebook, who are the current tenants.  The architecture comprises large double storey glazed punched openings in an otherwise brick clad façade.  The spandrels and window surrounds are either stainless steel (office) or glazed terracotta (residential), depending on location. The brick/terracotta façade is a self-supporting ‘stacked’, faced precast construction, by Belgian sub-contractor Loveld, with the glazed infills supplied by German curtain walling sub-contractor Schneider.
