| Description |
|
21 Davies
Street, in the heart of the exclusive
district of Mayfair, is described by PLP
Architects as a take on the traditional
mansion block but with a twist. The
mixed-use building has retail and resteraunt
units at street level, offices above and
above that four floors of apartments
including penthouses. The PLP website explains that, "... The apartments are on an extremely generous scale, served by two service cores on each floor. They are bright and spacious. Arranged around a central vaulted lobby, the living spaces face west to the lushly planted interior of the block. A series of slender bay windows light the bedrooms to the east, offering long views south to Berkeley Square. The cast steel and glass bays are contrasted against monolithic terracotta which forms the backdrop to the facade."  Etched into the
facade are a number of quotations.
The one below attrributed to Louis
Antoine Léon de Saint-Justa, military
and political leader during the French
Revolution.
