Bonhams New Bond Street HQ London, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, 2013. Detail of facade from
Passing through the narrow entrance of Bonhams on 101 New Bond Street, visitors are treated to the drama of alight-filled atrium rising to the entire metre height of the existing building. This bright, white atrium replaces four storeys of inaccessible rooms and features fluted lightboxes set at intervals, hinting at the levels of the former floors. A brief passage from this entrance along a glazed-roofed route places visitors directly in the centre of action: behind a dramatic carbon fibre reception desk, a glass wall reveals the double-height space of the 235 sq m New Bond Street Saleroom, Bonhams’ main auction space. A mezzanine-level private gallery offers VIP bidders a clear view across the saleroom.
