自20世纪开始又历经了1980年代的翻修后，这栋位于St James’s Conservation Area的建筑依然被人视作是毫无特色和毫无价值的。建筑的地下层和地面层原本是连在一起的。随着年份的增长，位于底层零售商店之上的办公区部分，逐渐在建筑顶层上累加。此次翻修需要对原有建筑部分进行拆除，仅留存面朝St James’s和Bury Street的沿街立面。两幢全新的大楼在立面背后拔地而起，与原始外墙无缝衔接。全新的建筑依然与地下层相连，面朝内部私人庭院的建筑立面展现出截然不同的外观效果。

Dating from the early 20th Century and last refurbished during the 1980s, the buildings were designated as unlisted buildings of merit within the St James’s Conservation Area. Historically linked at basement and ground level, the buildings, which were used as offices above ground floor retail spaces, had undergone incremental ad hoc additions over the years. The redevelopment entailed demolishing the existing buildings, retaining only the historic facades on St James’s and Bury Street. Two new buildings have been painstakingly re-built behind the retained facades, joining seamlessly with the original fabric. Connecting at basement level, the buildings create two new rear elevations which frame a private courtyard garden overlooking the Economist Plaza.

沿St James’s大街由波特兰石打造的建筑立面被翻修后，通入住宅的入口变得既优雅又朴素。镀锌板铺面的新加楼层于原建筑屋顶之上略有后退，这一小心的调整将新楼层对沿街立面的影响降到最低。设计师对底层商铺原有的大理石双层店面进行了细心的维护。

The Portland stone façade on St James’s Street has been cleaned and restored, providing an elegantly understated entrance for residential accommodation above ground floor retail premises. An additional floor has been added to the building; clad in zinc, the contemporary intervention is discreetly set back from the original roof line so as to have minimal visual impact from street level. On the ground floor, the original marble double shopfront has been sensitively renovated.

与St James’s沿街的波特兰石纹理和Bury大街的红砖相反，两个全新的建筑立面均采用浅色伦敦砖。该立面被开窗三等分，青铜外飘窗向Economist广场微微旋转，有效防止了对侧建筑的窥视。该豪华公寓包括四间三卧室横向公寓，以及一间位于五楼和六楼的四卧室复式阁楼。该阁楼公寓拥有天窗，阳台和享有城市天际线的屋顶花园。位于一层的住宅享有与私人庭院直接相连的地位优势。花园内由绿柄桑木打造的扇形配景，为居住者提供了一个意想不到的休闲设施。

Contrasting with the historic fabric of Portland stone on St James’s Street and red brick on Bury Street, new rear elevations of both buildings utilise light-toned London stock brick. Elevations are divided into thirds vertically to reference the retained facades and feature striking bronze oriel bay windows angled towards the Economist Plaza to prevent overlooking. Opulent residential accommodation comprises four 3-bedroom lateral apartments and a 4-bedroom duplex penthouse over the 5th and 6th floor which includes a feature walk on skylight, sunroom and roof garden terrace with vistas of the city skyline. The first floor apartment benefits from access to a courtyard garden with an eye-catching sculptural Iroko wood fan feature, providing an unexpected private amenity in the West End.
