The Fitzrovia, Tottenham Court Road, London

Located at the point where the more contemporary development on Tottenham Court Road gives way to older Victorian and Edwardian stock, The Fitzrovia also mitigates between large-scale retail architecture and the historic, lower-rise buildings around Bedford Square. Replacing an unsalvageable 1960s building, it sandwiches BREEAM Outstanding offices suited to creative and media tenants between ground-floor shops and 9 new homes. The heavily modulated civic front is clad in celadon-glazed terracotta on a basalt base, the rear in more domestic brick.
