5 Hanover Square, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Squire and Partners, 2012. Front elevation at dusk.
The 91,000 sq ft mixed use development - consisting of residential, office and retail uses - replaces an existing 1960's building. Squire and Partners' design expresses the traditional plot width of its immediate locale, and relates to the scale and materiality of the context at Hanover Square. Largely constructed from a dark grey/black brick, the facades are punctuated with deep window reveals lined with white marble, with additional shading provided by vertical bronze development is designed as an exemplar sustainable building which makes use of renewable energy to limit the use of energy internally, and controls energy gains from external sources.
