Eric Parry Architects Projects by ericparryarchitects

Selected Projects

“There are other architects whose interventions into London are bigger or more noticeable – but there are none whose work traverses with such ease and intelligence the radically different building types that constitute the city, from spaces for social care to houses for the super-rich, the smallest gallery to the biggest commercial office.”

Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times

Design Approach

“Our contribution is very much one to do with continuity, but in reinterpretation, in the present. (...) There isn’t a style tag. There is much more a concern for a way of crafting, the materiality of these projects, but also their relationship to a specific urban site, whether it is a street, a square, or an urban place of an atypical kind. This is really where the intensity of design discourse happens.” Eric Parry

The aspect of place and context we explore from a theoretical position and knowledge of the tradition of the European city. This is a basis from which we allow our speculation in design (not with repetition or historicism). The character of a building can be instigated by an individual creative thought or process but is only delivered with a wider team. The client is central to this team and we have nurtured close and collaborative working relationships with them.

We enjoy a range of scales of making – this is from a door handle to an urban masterplan. The design and execution is different for each but all need passion and commitment. We relish the urban milieu with its juxtapositions of scale, activity and real lived intensity.

Design Methodology

Eric Parry leads our creative design process with a team of skilled and enthusiastic architects and assistants. Depending on the scale of the project a senior architect will manage the internal team and the coordination with the broader design team and client.

For a major urban project this would be a director supported by an associate director and associate with teams of architects to focus on various elements of the project. We are all familiar with the work stages through which a project should smoothly progress. We are accepting of the need for rigor in completing accurately and fully these stages whilst ensuring our intent and flare is concentrated, not diluted. When the going is less predictable, as can be the case with planning and external influences, we are able to negotiate to best affect a positive outcome.

An example of our working methodology is seen in the process and selected images (opposite) for the 7 & 8 St James’s Square project and the corner elevation treatment on Duke of York Street. Our testing through drawing and 3D modelling is then continued through to full size mock ups so that quality control of components can be observed. Here the reference to Lutyens’ own office in No.7 is expressed in the projecting open limestone framework above a monument carving by Stephen Cox (completed in South India).

Experience working in Westminster Eric Parry Architects has a strong reputation for many completed buildings in the City of Westminster over the last 25 years. This is demonstrated in the illustrated map. The rich historic fabric of this part of the capital has allow us to work on some of the most important cultural buildings such as St Martin-in-theFields,Trafalgar Square as well as luxury hotels and apartments, art galleries, grade A office buildings and residences for private clients in exclusive Belgravia squares.

This portfolio has been achieved through the trusted relationship with the WCC planning officers and a transparency of process with the communities and councillors. Most of the projects are within conservation areas and many involve listed buildings or are adjacent to listed buildings. We have always supported a mutual ambition for the highest quality design and construction with our clients to deliver projects that will be a legacy within Westminster.

London NC1 Client Argent Group plc Value £76m Status Completed 2017

4 Pancras Square The Argent development at King’s Cross is one of the most significant new urban developments in London and one that will receive worldwide attention. The site is located to the north of the existing King’s Cross railway station, adjacent to St Pancras International Station on brownfield land.

Eric Parry Architects was commissioned in 2003 to prepare an initial design for 4 Pancras Square to test the Masterplan proposal. At that time the cast iron gasometer was still located on the site of the proposed Pancras Square and this informed the proposal for an expressed steel frame to this office building.

The building consists of 10 storeys of office above ground floor reception and retail with two floors of basement below and was completed in June 2017.

The materials of the façade consist of weathering steel and white glazed ceramic for the horizontal brise soleil shading.

London EC3 Client Aroland Holdings Limited Value Confidential

1 Undershaft Eric Parry Architects has unveiled their competition winning design for a new tower within the heart of the City of London. The brief was to deliver an innovative world class building to replace the existing 1960s structure with a simple, elegant sculptural form, diminishing in profile in its upper storeys.

1 Undershaft lies at the heart of the ‘Eastern Cluster’, an area already determined by the City of London Corporation to be suitable for tall buildings. Located at the junction of St Mary Axe and Leadenhall Street, the site has been at the centre of commerce in the City of London since Roman times. When constructed, 1 Undershaft will be the tallest building in the City of London.

1 Undershaft will create a place for all who work, visit, or live in London. Central to the proposal is the ambition to create a new public space that can accommodate the increased number of pedestrians and cyclists who will be moving through this part of the City. The building also acknowledges the importance of culture within the City. As well as providing spaces for the public at street level, it will offer a generous space at the top of the building for a free public viewing gallery, education centre and restaurant.

London EC3 Client Generali Real Estate Value £140m Status Completed 2018

Fen Court Fen Court is a building conceived as a development in the tradition of the European city block, rather than that of the signature tall building. It sets a new street scale for this particular district of the City of London – it is a building that has a presence through a multitude of views, from the distant, to silhouettes seen down the many surrounding lanes and streets that characterise this City as London.

From the taller buildings that are emerging the current roofscape of the city is an unsightly sea of air conditioning plant. This and an absolute need for more sustainable building stock gave rise to the idea of creating a publicly accessible roof garden, accessed from a central court at street level. An enlarged north-south route runs through the building which will radically improve the connection to adjoining public spaces.

The building conforms to the architectural principle of a base, with retail use, a body of office floors to a street shoulder or cornice level, and an upper level of office floors that will have a crystalline appearance changing and activated by daylight and the weather conditions.

London EC3 Client The Clothworkers’ Company Status Planning

50 Fenchurch Street 50 Fenchurch Street is an island site bounded by Fenchurch Street, Mincing Lane, Dunster Court, and Mark Lane. The site is owned by The Clothworkers’ Company. Apart from the medieval Tower of All Hallows Staining and the subterranean Lambe’s Chapel Crypt, all the buildings were built after 1945. These buildings include the Clothworkers’ Hall, Minster House, 46-50 Fenchurch Street, 51-54 Fenchurch Street and St Olave’s Church Hall.

Typical Podium Levels Plan

The proposed 50 Fenchurch Street includes two listed buildings, the Grade I listed Tower of All Hallows Staining and the Grade II listed Lambe’s Chapel Crypt. Neither are currently accessible to the public as they are on private land. 50 Fenchurch Street will provide over 62,000 sq m of flexible office space arranged around a central core. Floor plates vary in size’ to maximise the building’s appeal to a range of City occupiers.

Level 10 Plan - Public Roof Garden

The proposed scheme sets the Tower within a new street level public realm, with the aspiration of providing public access to the interior. Lambe’s Chapel Crypt is to be relocated to a publicly accessible location on site, providing the opportunity to improve the Crypt’s presentation, setting and understanding.

London EC4 Client City of London Corporation Status Public Consultation

Salisbury Square The City of London Corporation has identified a unique opportunity to create modern facilities for both the City of London Police and Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) in the heart of the historic Square Mile.

Built to exemplar standards when it comes to accessibility and sustainability, the buildings are designed to last for at least 125 years. Salisbury Square will be enlarged and refocused as a gathering point for the development, somewhere people can enjoy.

Eric Parry Architect has been commissioned to design and deliver a new, purpose-built 18-courtroom legal facility called the City of London Law Courts and a cutting-edge police head-quarters equipped to amongst other things combat fraud and economic crime across the UK.

The placement of buildings and introduction of new routes has been inspired by the ancient City, with passageways and spaces encouraging con-versation and exchange of information. Eric Parry Architects have prioritised the continuation of this tradition and integrated it into a modern development as a vital part of civic life.

London WC2 Client Wilmar International Status Under Construction

Wilmar Headquarters Our proposal combines signature architecture with high quality public realm to create a landmark headquarters building for Wilmar International’s global business. Our proposal provides world class laboratories and office spaces within a landscaped garden setting.

The building is organic in form and is characterised by tiered landscape terraces which provide a garden aspect to each office level. The envelope has ribbons of glass to provide 360 degree views whilst horizontal fins provide solar shading to keep the building cool. The extensive use of reflective materials both mirror and accentuate the surrounding landscape to provide ‘a workspace within the landscape’. An open ground floor provides a large covered public space with active uses of exhibition centre, auditorium and café which animate the space.

A basement car park and cycle store enjoy end of journey cycle facilities of showers and lockers. The building is highly sustainable and responds to climate and orientation to maximise the passive effect on reducing heat load and energy usage. It promotes responsible resource stewardship through conservation of water, rainwater harvesting, an integrated greywater system throughout.

London EC3 Client Brookfield Multiplex Value £24.9m Status Completed 2016

5 - 7 St Helen’s Place Eric Parry Architects has designed both a new office building and the new premises for Brookfield Multiplex and The Leathersellers’ Company in the City of London. The site, in a dense Conservation Area, is part of a 1920s Neo-Renaissance cul-de-sac and is bordered by tower blocks in the near distance and, directly to the south, by a Grade I Listed church with elements dating from the thirteenth century.

The project comprises the retention of the five storey stone façade and the construction of a new office building with an additional upper penthouse level behind an extended mansard roof. The new façade to the south, has modulated glazed ceramic to provide a backdrop to the church.

The site has three party wall neighbours and, as the new building is constructed less than a metre away from the church, a sensitive and harmonious relationship to the listed historic fabric has been achieved.

An additional basement has been created to house the grand rooms of the Leathersellers’ Company. Occupying the lower levels of the building are contemporary crafted interiors entailing the re-use of fixtures and fittings from their previous premises.

London EC3 Client The Leathersellers’ Company Value Completed 2016

The Leathersellers’ Hall The Leathersellers' Company has occupied this site continuously since 1543. Whilst earlier halls were located within St Helen’s Place, the new 7th hall has now returned to the site of its earliest historical location. The design showcases some of the best contemporary crafting in leather, joinery, textiles and metalwork.

The interior includes the following principal spaces: The Court Room sits 29 around a new table. The walls finished in American black walnut panelling alternate with vertical slotted timber reeds. The deep red curtains, white leather chairs, the colours of the carpet and the glint of the crystal cut chandeliers add life and ceremony to the room. The Reception Room, a light, airy space, speaks to the future more than the past and features a clear and indigo drawn glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly.

The Stair Hall incorporates scagliola pilasters from the sixth hall; these are placed between raised panels of polished plaster in two tones to add to the apparent depth of the surface. The Dining Hall (see page 23) can host 120 guests seated in three rows and has a clerestory with views to the church wall above. The walls are panelled in American black walnut, alternating in plain and reeded horizontal sections in a similar arrangement to the Court Room. The tapestry frieze, some 60 sqm was commissioned to create bold colour narrative and a sense of a further horizon. The Project recently won a RIBA London Award (2017).

London SW1 Client Green Property Limited Value £28m Status Completed 2015

St James’s Square The redevelopment of 7 & 8 St James’s Square replaces the building on the corner of St James’s Square and Duke of York Street and incorporates a new basement structure beneath the adjoining building at 7 St James’s Square. The latter is an elegantly proportioned and detailed listed townhouse designed by Edwin Lutyens in 1911 for the three bachelor Farrer brothers of banking fame, and had become the headquarters of the Royal Fine Art Commission until it was replaced by The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in 1999. Planning consent has been granted to convert this back in to a single dwelling.

The design for 8 St James’s Square, to replace the ill-proportioned existing building, is a rigorously crafted modern brick elevation to the square. This elevation echoes the original scale and detailing, typical of its urban setting, most closely exemplified in Chatham House, 9 St James’s Square, to the immediate west side of Duke of York Street. The new building is a finely considered contribution which is sensitive to the existing urban fabric. The redevelopment provided the opportunity to create a 5,639 sqm office building with potential for 1,187 sqm of gallery or retail at ground level which would contribute to the commercial and public gallery life of this area.

The project included a commission for a significant new work of public art by the distinguished sculptor Stephen Cox. This was conceived as a historical link to Edwin Lutyens: after his completion of No.7, the Farrer family offered Sir Edwin Lutyens the use of the existing stable mews building in Apple Tree Yard as an architectural studio. It was at the time that his practice was expanding for the many government commissions in New Delhi, India.

30 St James's Square Eric Parry Architects has designed a boutique office in the City of Westminster for British Grolux Investments. Planning and Listed Building Consent, following Section 106 agreement, was granted in January 2017 and work on site commenced in March 2018.

The site is on the south east corner of St James’s Square in Westminster’s political heart, faces Lambeth Bridge and is part of the gateway to Horseferry Road. The development comprises two historic buildings and includes the facade retention and extension of both buildings with a new structure and core servicing an additional floor to increase floorspace. At ground floor a new entrance and reception has been created and retail use introduced.

A carefully considered approach was required with Westminster Planning Department to ensure we maximised the NIA on a very sensitive and prominent corner site on to Pall Mall. The combination of refurbishment and new build construction will deliver a more sustainable buildings in Westminster that will enhance the St James’s Square Conservation Area. It builds on our work at No.8 St James’s Square and is due for completion in 2021.

London EC2 Client Scottish Widows plc Value £72m Status Completed 2007

5 Aldermanbury Square In June 2001 Eric Parry Architects was appointed to propose and develop a masterplan and building design for the site of the existing Royex House adjacent to London Wall. Following analysis of the vehicular and pedestrian routes through the site, a scheme was developed to create a new public space connecting Wood Street and Aldermanbury Square with access to the Barbican High Walk.

The façades are formed in stainless steel cladding enclosing an all perimeter structure within a double height arrangement. Detailed consultations with the Corporation of London Planning Officers developed the brief and arrangement for the new public space, as well as establishing agreement in principle to the overall massing and detailed design of the façades.

The new 18-storey building raised above the public space consists of two staggered wings divided by a receding central section that admits light into the triple height ground floor reception space, linking the two entrances.

5 Aldermanbury Square was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize 2009. It won a RIBA Award 2009 and both Regional (London) and prior to this a National Commercial Workplace at the British Council for Offices Awards in 2008.

“This bold commercial building sets a new benchmark for this part of London. An innovative structural frame allowed the architects to produce an incredibly elegant building with a timeless design quality.” British Council for Offices Awards 2008

60 Threadneedle Street Following the win of a limited invited competition in June 2004, Eric Parry Architects was commissioned to develop proposals for part of the redevelopment of the site of the former London Stock Exchange building. The building occupies a prominent site at the junction of Old Broad Street and Threadneedle Street in the heart of the City of London.

The new ten storey office building with a lower ground floor and basement, incorporates retail floor space on ground floor and part of the basement level on the site of the old Market Hall Building. The project won City Development of the Year at the Property Week Office Development Awards 2009 and was shortlisted for a RIBA Award in 2010.

“The result is an intriguing and singular act of imagination that appears like a shadow or a lacuna in the streetscape, one that reflects as much as it absorbs.” Patrick Lynch Architecture Today

30 Finsbury Square Eric Parry Architects was appointed by Scottish Widows to develop and achieve planning approval for a new office development in this prestigious square. The square was laid out in the 18th century as a residential square but, due to its location, it became an important commercial centre close to the City of London in the 20th century.

The project is in a Conservation Area and required the demolition of a locally listed 1920s structure. The project team carefully considered the conservation issues and design, with public consultations with the local authority and local forum groups. The building has won an RIBA award, AIA/UK Design Excellence Award, a commendation from the British Council for Offices, and was shortlisted for the 2003 Stirling Prize.

“If there is one office building that has spawned imitators, it is the heavy, stately façade of Eric Parry’s 30 Finsbury Square office in the City of London, a triumph in claiming a civic aspiration for a commercial building. It takes its place as the best building of any era on Finsbury Square.” Kieran Long The Architects’ Journal

10 Paternoster Square 10 Paternoster Square occupies a ‘keystone’ position in the centre of William Whitfield’s masterplan. As well as fronting on to Paternoster Square, the structure maintains an animated presence in the urban framework with an entrance on Newgate Street.

A north-south pedestrian ground level walkway offers access through the building King Edward Court is the headquarters of the London Stock Exchange.

The London Stock Exchange was operational by May 2004, and the Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, formally opened the new London Stock Exchange building on 27 July 2004. The building won the New Build category of the Stone Awards 2004.

The form and articulation maximise the development within the height constraints of St Paul’s. The stone façades sweep to the new public space and loggia overlooking the cathedral. The stone façade and cladding was completed with a flying platform above the main site entrance.

23 Savile Row 23 Savile Row is arranged as two wings flanking a recessed central section, the new six storey scheme consists of 14,640 sqm of office space with visually permeable retail and exhibition space at ground level. The quality and detail of the new building’s finely articulated façade is a respectful response to this conservation area in the heart of London’s West End.

The self-supporting stonework was conceived as a sequence of punched openings within a stone wall, with each window opening flanked by pilasters supporting a profiled string course. The depth of the façade allows full height windows to the deep office plan. The project included a commission for a significant new work of public art by the distinguished American sculptor Joel Shapiro. Shapiro conceived a dynamic artwork in cast bronze that forms a dramatic but carefully integrated part of the new building’s main façade onto Savile Row.

The building was completed in March 2009, and is fully let. The ground floor retail units are occupied by the internationally renowned Hauser & Wirth’s new gallery space for London. The project won West End Development of the Year at the Property Week Office Development Awards 2009 and was shortlisted for a RIBA Award in 2010.

The Opera Terrace In 2013, Eric Parry Architects was successful in gaining the unique opportunity of renovating one of London’s most famous historic sites: The Opera Terrace, Covent Garden (1831), which spans the Eastern Façade of the Grade II* listed Market Building set in the Heart of the West End.

Eric Parry Architects was commissioned to both replace the existing 1980s conservatory with a more contemporary design, that is equally fitting to the stature & heritage of the site, along with an extensive re-organisation of the restaurants programme, converting a once labyrinthine back-ofhouse into a more usable and efficient proposition.

It was this, combined with a desire to create a more vibrant dining experience, that led to an architectural response that takes shape as a clear glass wing, which hovers over the terrace, enfolding the dining & bar spaces, whilst still allowing access to the sky and views out onto the square below, where this light structure works as an animated backdrop to the activity of performance occurring within.

Client Nozome Pte Ltd Status Completed 2014

May May Restaurant Located within the Tanjong Pagar conservation area in Singapore, Eric Parry Studio designed this shophouse conversion for a restaurant fit out, and renewal works to the front façade.

The May May Restaurant occupies a 5m wide 25m deep traditional shophouse ground floor. Its main feature is the light well in the centre of the space with a living green wall that climbs the wall to the roof. May May offers food and drink inspired by the flavours of Asia that blends with modern day Singapore. The new interior targets an international crowd to create a backdrop for casual business meetings and lunches.

References to selected familiar elements of the traditional shophouse are modernized and accentuated. White marble, reminiscent of the traditional kopitiam table top, flanks the entry at the bar counter and continues at the existing feature wall at the courtyard onto a long dining table top. Warm filament lighting enhances bespoke timber feature panels along the main circulation space, akin to timber ubiquitous in former shophouse interiors. Fresh re-interpretations of the traditional Peranakan and ceramic tiles line the walls.

London W1 Client St Martin-in-the-Fields Value £26m Status Church interior completed & reopened 2007. Exterior works & new pavilion completed 2008

St Martin-in-the-Fields The parish Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields is justifiably regarded as the masterpiece of the distinguished 18th century architect James Gibbs and one of the country’s finest historic churches. It plays a substantial and positive role in shaping the architectural and townscape character of Trafalgar Square and this part of Central London and contributes considerably to the cultural and social life of the capital. It is a landmark building and is of the greatest importance both nationally and internationally.

The project was a masterplan for the whole St Martin-in-the-Fields site to achieve a once in a century reorganisation for the varied uses. These included: the refurbishment and conservation of Gibbs’ Grade I listed church and crypt; the reconstruction of the below ground spaces; the rationalisation and extension of the Grade II listed Nash Terrace; and the reordering of the publicly accessible spaces. The latter forming the missing sacred element of World Squares for All at Trafalgar Square. This project received Heritage Lottery Funding and planning approval from Westminster City Council and the Diocesan Advisory Committee was received in October 2003. The restoration of the church interior was awarded a Georgian Group Architectural Award in 2007 for the restoration of a Georgian Church.

“This project has been a truly epic undertaking and its completion is doubtless as much a tribute to its architect’s powers of negotiation as to the intelligence it has brought to the design. Faced with a fantastically complex set of challenges, it has somehow maintained a real singularity of vision throughout.” Ellis Woodman Building Design

Bath Client Holburne Museum Trust Value £5.4m Status Completed 2011

Holburne Museum of Art The project involved the refurbishment and extension of the Holburne Museum – a Grade I listed building in Bath, within a conservation area and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The museum is located at the end of Great Pulteney Street, one of the most impressive 18th century streets in Europe, linking the museum with the established attractions and activities in central Bath. The three storey extension provides an extra 800 sqm of gallery space to house the collection which has grown by some 2,000 exhibits since the Museum opened in 1916. It transforms the visitor’s experience with improved facilities, a lift which (for the first time) allows the Museum to be fully accessible to all, and a garden café opening onto the gardens.

The project reunites the historic Sydney Gardens with the city by recreating the clear axis between Great Pulteney Street at one end and the gardens at the other. The scheme significantly enhances the museum’s role in the community, and acts as a catalyst for the regeneration of this area of Bath and Somerset.

London EC1 Client The Charterhouse Value £4.2m Status Completed February 2017

Revealing the Charterhouse In 2012, Eric Parry Architects won a competition to make strategic interventions at The London Charterhouse. The Charterhouse is an historic complex centred on a 14th century Carthusian Monastery.

Following the Dissolution, its buildings were rebuilt as an extensive mansion house in the 16th century, and a charitable school and almshouse in the 17th century. Charterhouse School moved to Surrey in the 19th century and the almshouse (Sutton’s Hospital) remains the primary occupant of the site. This charity, in partnership with the Museum of London, has revealed its heritage to the public. After the site was bombed in 1941, the extensive damage repaired with mixed success in the 1950s.

This repair has allowed many opportunities to constructively restore, and sensitively adapt the most historic wings of the site for new uses in the continued life of the charity. The project provided public access to a hidden treasure, the built fabric of which has witnessed key moments in the history of England and Europe. From a vastly improved and redesigned public square, the public is invited via a new entrance into a new reception, education room and museum facilities.

Eaton Place Residence This residential project is an interior refurbishment of the ground and lower ground floors and the partial demolition and reconstruction of the adjoining mews building. Both properties are in a conservation area and the building is listed Grade II.

The new mews building has a concrete structure and a very high quality finish has been achieved as the structure is exposed over large areas of the project, specifically soffits and columns. A new, mostly glazed structure provides the link between the main house and the mews, and covers three flights of stairs which lead from the basement through to the first floor. The stair is a major bespoke feature constructed of granite treads post-tensioned by steel stringers with curved glass sections of balustrades.

The envelope of the mews building is a new structure except for the upper half of the existing brick façade, which had to be retained. Bespoke metal rooflights have been installed in new roof of the mews building, some of which includes curved glass. The interior finishes, apart from the fair faced concrete, include large areas of hardwood timber wall panelling and built in furniture as well as bespoke acoustic panelling of felt and perforated metal. The joinery is of the highest quality and careful attention has been paid to detailing.

With the relocation of a number of diplomatic missions, the scheme reflects the changing nature of the Mayfair area, reverting the site to residential use and repositions Grosvenor Square as the premiere Mayfair residential square. Following detailed consultations with Westminster City Council and The Grosvenor Estate, a strategy of reconstruction has been developed by carefully recording and dismantling the most significant façades.

Eaton Square Residence The Eaton Square property is in a Grade II*listed building within the City of Westminster Belgravia Conservation Area, originally built as grand townhouses by Cubitt in the 1830s.

Eric Parry Architects have set out to create a contemporary residence with an improved relationship to the rear garden, all the while respecting its architectural heritage. The two levels are connected via an elliptical stair and collaboration with the lighting designer Ingo Maurer looked to define the image and experience of the approach to the staircase.

The proposed alterations to the existing structure involved removing load bearing walls at lower ground to help create a large family room. The aim was to re-establish the elegance of the original house, whilst simultaneously maximising natural light with an extension that is sympathetic the existing building.

Old Wardour House Situated beside the historic Old Wardour Castle, built in the late 14th century, Old Wardour House has a noble lineage. The house was acquired by the present owner’s family in 1963.

Major alterations have been made to some or all of the buildings on this site in the 1690s, 1740s, 1870s, 1900s and 1960s, leaving a distinctive, eclectic, traceable pattern. The new design took a non-intrusive, minimalist approach, respectful of the existing fabric. From the beginning of November until the end of January, the house is in perpetual shadow, as a result of the sun failing to rise above the tops of the trees to the south, a condition which has worsened as the trees have grown.

The aim of the design was to allow more light into the house, whilst ensuring retention of historic fabric. The extension made use of large glazed areas to bring in light to the kitchen area below, and the bedroom above, whilst ensuring clear views from the Summer House to the garden, and the castle. The extension won a Natural Stone Award in 2006.

White City Masterplan Granted planning permission in 2012, Eric Parry Architects designed and masterplanned this ambitious redevelopment of an under-utilised brownfield site in West London. The 12 acre mixed use development is located on the former Dairy Crest site and provides affordable housing, community spaces such as a health centre and music and arts facilities and landscaped public gardens.

The vision for the Dairy Crest Masterplan is to establish a flourishing urban quarter that will provide a high quality mixed-use development with a range of complementary facilities. The ultimate objective of the public realm and landscape strategy is to stimulate a rediscovery of a vibrant public life, to enhance the enormous potential of White City as a place for the enjoyment, health and wellbeing of the wider community.

The landscape strategy establishes an extensive network of gateways, squares and green spaces that are interlinked by a network of streets. Along with extensive tree planting, this green infrastructure adds to the overall structure of the masterplan by providing locally distinctive neighbourhoods and enhanced streetscapes. This complements the architecture, emphasises important views, and creates an attractive green network of routes serving as wildlife corridors that connect to the wider context.

Private Residence This residential project designed by Eric Parry Studio is an interior refurbishment of an existing apartment block unit, common area and entrance.

Our approach was to complement the existing architectural qualities of this 10 year old apartment block by adding warmth, tactility and colour. Completed in 2004 the building has 52 units, located in an elegant old residential district near Shibuya Station in Tokyo. The existing exterior features a beautiful tile developed by the sculptor Ayako Ueda. These softly crafted tiles are featured throughout the development and have informed our design.

The discreet external entrance to the building has been transformed into an interior space through the introduction of metal and glass screens. Enhanced lighting & hard and soft landscaping add a sense of privacy and intimacy. Interior layouts of the apartment units have been reconfigured to create more spaciousness, higher ceilings and improved lighting. Comfort and elegance has been created by applying a simple spacial and material hierarchy executed with an honest touch of craftsmanship.

Iringan Hijau The project consists of a three storey residential development of 26 units on a two acre site. The site is located within a low rise residential area close to the traditional ambassadorial area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The units range in size from 3,000 to 5,000 sqft including single floor apartments, duplexes and three storey townhouses arranged in four blocks with generous landscaped gardens in between, and single storey daylit car park beneath the whole site. The buildings have a strong concrete base, contrasting with the white rendered walls of the upper floors with its fair faced concrete elements of projecting balconies popping through the façade. Deep balconies and adjustable louvred screens provide privacy as well as shade and environmental control and allow for ample cross ventilation, much needed in the tropical climate.

The landscaped gardens provide screening between the blocks and shade to the grassed and paved surfaces. At one end a small club pavilion provides a place for informal gatherings of residents for celebrations, or simply a place to relax while watching swimmers in the landscaped pool below. Planning permission was granted in 1998 but the development was put on hold during the regional economic crisis. In 2002 the project was resurrected, work started on site in January 2007 and completed in 2009.

Cambridge Client The Masters, Fellows & Scholars of Pembroke College Value £6.5m Status Masterplan completed 1989 Foundress Court completed 1998

Pembroke College History is more of a burden for the inhabitants of one of the oldest university towns in England than is generally acknowledged. Given the college’s unending need for further accommodation and the restriction on site within the densely developed town fabric of Cambridge, the addition of nearly 100 student rooms, a fellow’s set, computer centre, meeting rooms and new Master’s Lodge was a challenge requiring a very comprehensive masterplan.

At the northern end, the building resolves as a raised, cloistered garden; at the western end, the master’s lodge forms the end of the building.

The complex nature of this building in an urban context between town streets and a collegiate interior is illustrated by the fifteen elevations that make up the exterior. The two perpendicular wings of the building form the new boundaries to one of the college courts.

The building is formed from in-situ concrete slabs supported on load bearing blockwork walls. The fabric of the building has been developed using some of the most innovative specialists and testing bodies to create a building with an anticipated life of over 200 years.

At the intersection of the wings there is a main stair which rises up below the roof lantern. The lantern demarcates the new college entrance. To the street side, six new small courts of different character are formed between projecting pavilions.

“All in all, it is a most impressive building, particularly in the careful detailing and choice of materials, and it confirms Parry as a major talent of his generation.” Peter Blundell Jones, The Architects’ Journal

Cambridge Assessment We were appointed to design the new headquarters for Cambridge Assessment in 2013, following a limited competition. Established over 150 years ago, Cambridge Assessment operates and manages the University of Cambridge three exam boards and carries out academic and operational research on assessment in education.

The development provides approximately 350,000 sqft (NIA) of new office and amenity space for 3,000 people with 1,150 bicycle spaces. Our vision was to create an inspiring new group of connected buildings, ranging from four to five storeys in height. These are shallow plan depth fingers set around raised landscaped podia with a central arrival court and garden. The main façades are formed of horizontal bands of handset brickwork in lime mortar, combined with light coloured self-finished precast concrete elements, and include a visual arts intervention by Vong Phaophanit and Claire Oboussier.

A taller tower is located along the railway, marking the site when viewed from the railway and busway approach into Cambridge station. The tower is scaled to the local context and will not compete with the existing taller landmark buildings in Cambridge. The building will be highly sustainable and is targeting a DEC A rating when in occupation.

The Welding Institute Eric Parry Architects was commissioned to design the Masterplan for Granta Park in the mid 1990s by the then owner MEPC. Throughout the subsequent 16 years the site has been transformed from arable farmland into the highly successful science park it is today.

Following the recent completion of a restructuring of the ownership of Granta Park, The Welding Institute have been able to transform their site and create the accommodation suited to their needs. Three new buildings house amenity operations, a NSIRC education facility and an engineering hall including heavy and light engineering laboratories and office accommodation. The project won a RIBA National & East Region Award (2017).

The Cambridge Science Cluster is world renowned for research and education and makes an excellent base for multinational innovative companies.

Cambridge Client Granta Park

Granta Park The first phase was Granta Park, a development of new R&D labs totally 50,000 sqm in the Green Belt, which meant demonstrating the need for specialised hightech workspace as well as achieving exacting standards of sustainability and design quality.

The creation of Granta Park, a joint development between MEPC and TWI in the 1990s, provided the first opportunity to make a significant investment into the existing building stock of the Welding Institute Facilities and provide much needed modern accommodation.

Working with Latz + Partner, we turned agricultural land into a working environment for science and technology, meeting the standards of research laboratories as well as minimising impact on the environment. It has sustainable traffic, water and sewage systems, as well as series of amenities which foster communal interaction, such as a cricket pitch, restaurant and conference facilities. Its profits went towards The Welding Institute’s own expansion plans.

The original masterplan was started in 1992 with the acquisition of 87 acres of farm land, on which Granta Park Phase 1 is now built with the basic concept of a high quality, low density, fully landscaped development. The masterplan for the park was developed in consideration of ecological criteria, with the aim of preserving and enhancing the existing rural landscape and ensuring the site would be easily accessible.

Throughout the subsequent 15 years the site was transformed from arable farmland to the highly successful science park it is today. With a vision to provide the very best purpose-built research facilities in a high quality landscape setting, Granta Park is recognised as a highly successful science park. After Granta Park successfully generated funds for The Welding Institute’s own development, we moved onto phase 2 of the masterplan in 2011. The brief was to create extended facilities to the existing Welding Institute, including new catering facilities as well as further office and research spaces.

In 2015 we were commissioned to undertake an outline planning apwplication for a Phase 3 masterplan addition to the original Granta Park development. The concept of the masterplan proposal is to create a new landscaped park that links the listed Abington Hall and Repton landscape scheme at its foreground with the new crescent-like pavilion style buildings by a 400m stretch of new beautiful landscaping.

The series of lakes created will link the developments together visually and will provide a foreground setting to the buildings. The original vistas and avenues as well as sightlines created by the Phase 1 masterplan were carefully considered with this proposal in order to link the two phases together and enable long east-west vistas through the entire science park.

Water will be a predominant feature that is introduced as an integral feature to the centred landscape. The series of lakes created will link the developments together visually and will provide a foreground setting to the buildings. Thresholds and landscape interfaces have been carefully considered as part of the design development to create a sense of continuity between landscape and buildings.

Brighton Client Brighton College Value £10m (Phases 1&2) Phase 1 £5m Status Completed 2016

Performing Arts Centre In 2010 Eric Parry Architects won an invited competition to design a new music school for Brighton College. In 2011 the brief was expanded to include a new drama building with theatre, dance rehearsal spaces and shared foyer to form a new performing arts centre at the heart of the school.

The competition winning concept was for a simple pitched roof pavilion to give the school a face onto the Home Ground to the north of the main school buildings. The building is contemporary in character, reflecting the school’s vision for the future, whilst the pitched roof reflects the gables of the original Victorian Gothic school buildings. The Sarah Abraham Recital Hall can seat an audience of up to 195. It provides a flexible teaching and performance space with a retractable seating system, integrated stage lighting and mechanically operated variable acoustic system in the wall linings.

Carefully detailed materials, such as the Caen stone ashlar walls and dramatic glazed roof tiles allow this new addition to sit comfortably in its historic context as well as being very much a building of our time. The redevelopment redefines a previously neglected and congested part of the campus. It restores dignity to George Gilbert Scott’s original school building and creates a wonderful new facility which makes the performing arts central to campus life. The project won a RIBA South East Award (2017).

Bedford School Library Eric Parry Architects won an invited RIBA competition to design a new library building for Bedford School and was appointed in January 2001. The site for the new library is on the staff car park to the west of the existing school library. The library addresses the range of main school buildings, establishing a front elevation that works around the existing library rather than behind it.

A sequence of spaces within the library progress from the informal lobby housing the newspapers and journals, through to the quieter study areas facing the garden. From a single front elevation the building splits into two wings. To the south is the quiet study area with a seminar room above. To the north is the two storey library with a mezzanine accessed by stair or lift. The library was officially opened in January 2004 by Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, and was awarded a Mention in the National Design Awards by the Civic Trust, 2005.

“Where the existing school environment relentlessly asserts a collective identity over individual experience, the library proposes a rather more human vision – one grounded in a historical continuum certainly, but generous enough to accommodate other, quintessentially contemporary needs – intimacy, responsiveness and even that most underrated of architectural virtues – doubt.“ Ellis Woodman Building Design

London W1 Client Four Season Hotel & Resorts Status Completed 2011

Four Seasons Hotel Spa One of the capital’s top 5-star hotels, the Four Seasons is located on Hamilton Place, just off Park Lane in London’s exclusive Mayfair district. Dating from 1969, the hotel was in need of refurbishment to preserve its reputation as a luxurious haven. Appointed in January 2005, Eric Parry Architects developed a proposal for the extension to the roof to include a new spa, early arrivals suite and gym. The attic storey also facilitates the rationalisation of existing and redundant plant and accommodate new chillers required to power air-conditioning to all bedrooms.

In addition to providing the vital 5-star services and facilities, the design offers visitors to the spa the opportunity to experience the magnificent rooftop views afforded by the hotel’s position. In developing the design, Eric Parry Architects carried out thorough analysis of the existing services and how massing of a new roof would work with the form of the existing building. Conservation and Design Officers were closely consulted to achieve a quality of design sympathetic to the hotel’s surroundings and existing building.

The vision behind the new extension is a delicate white attic with a dark ebony stove-enamelled metal roof, which overhangs and shades the new glass elevation and complements the existing Portland Stone façades. The balconies to the north elevation are enclosed with frameless double-glazing to make them usable all year round and increase the area of the rooms in the process. The form and high quality materials used in the additional storey adds a sophisticated gravitas to the existing building.

London W2 Client Landmark Hotel Group Value £13.7m Status Completed 2005

Royal Lancaster Hotel The hotel is a significant landmark on the north side of Hyde Park, with views over the open space and London’s skyline. Podium and slab in design, it was constructed as an office block but converted soon after into a hotel. The exterior of the hotel was in need of revitalisation to remove tired and unsightly precast concrete panels. Eric Parry Architects was appointed in 1998 to carry out a major makeover of the building’s podium façade to protect and enhance the hotel’s commercial performance.

We proposed the complete reworking of the entire envelope of the hotel podium, which contains the conference facilities and restaurants. Planning permission was successfully gained from Westminster City Council and involved negotiations with the Royal Parks. The design and layout of the proposals were developed through detailed discussions and workshops with the hotel owners and its hotel management team, chef and conference and banqueting teams. The works comprised clearing away 1980s glass extensions and streamlining the frontage with a new stone façade. Striking, near white, limestone was used in conjunction with large glazed panels set in mirror-finish, stainless-steel frames to create a new urban skin for the hotel.

The limestone, cut from Spanish quarries specifically for this project, was finished in the UK by stone specialists to ensure an elegant façade of the highest possible quality. The renewal also enabled the extension of the building line to the site boundary in two places, and as a result the hotel offer was expanded to include 12 new syndicate rooms, new hotel offices, and the new Island restaurant and private dining rooms. The practice has worked with the client on the feasibility of further extensions to the podium and refurbishment to the bedroom accommodation tower.

Kensington Hotel The chance to re-imagine a ‘grand’ hotel and redefine luxury for the 21st century is an extraordinary opportunity, and still more exceptional when it is sited opposite Kensington Palace, overlooking one of London’s most celebrated parks and charmingly intimate palace settings laid out by Sir Christopher Wren from 1689. Essentially a building in two acts, this new architecture embraces the dramatic potential of the site and the complexity of the existing urban fabric.

The new north wing celebrates the park aspect while behind this the white stucco terraces have been remodelled with elegant clarity. The leitmotif that harmonises new and old is the way nature is assimilated into the building externally and internally: from the subtle framing of long park views and the panoramic skyline to the kaleidoscopic reflections of trees and skies in the lens–like contours of the luminous park façade; from the operatic mood of the ‘enchanted forest’ and botanical specimen cases to the extensive roof gardens that echo the graphic shapes of Kensington Palace’s formal gardens.

The new wing can be described as ‘contemporary Regency’, inspired by the grandeur and formal planning of houses overlooking Hyde Park on Park Lane or Brighton’s sea front where the first floor is a stage for entertaining elevated to take advantage of the views and float ethereally above the busyness of the street. Equally the undulating surface of the new glass façade is a reinterpretation of the Regency period bow window.

Eric Parry Designs In collaboration with furniture maker Matthew Marchbank, these benches were originally commissioned for the Dick Sheppard Chapel at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

The Vigilia bench design plays between the delicacy of the hand crafted spindles of the back rest and the splayed legs on the one hand and its robustness on the other. Designed for waiting spaces or places of encounter, the horsehair seat pad makes it comfortable for long periods and yet it is taut and economical.

Collaborating with furniture maker Hiro Takayanagi, the table (overleaf) was originally commissioned for the Four Seasons Hotel Spa, Park Lane, London. The robustness of oak is a counterpoint to the delicacy of form of the metal work and celebration of craft. This piece adds to a series of ongoing collaborations including ironmongery, glasswork and textiles.

The Vigilia bench was presented, and on exhibition at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Milan Design Week 2012.

The ‘Z’ Handle was designed to overcome the usual accumulation of parts by creating a continuous flow of surface from horizontal to vertical.

The Sanctuary bench is a decidedly different design. Here, chunky timber legs are comb-jointed into one another and continue around to form the side of the seat, back and fold in on themselves to create an arm. The same horsehair stuffed pads make both seat and backrest cushions.

These designs are a commitment to the enrichment of our culture and daily life – and future collaborations will continue to explore the relationship between designer and maker, context and material.
