Mixed-use refurbishment and penthouse offices, Dover Street Mayfair

The property, constructed in the mid-1960s, is situated on the west side of Dover Street, directly opposite Brown’s Hotel. The building is well placed to benefit from the excellent shopping facilities, hotels and restaurants that Mayfair has to offer.

We were originally commissioned to prepare design proposals and obtain detailed planning consent for addition of two additional ‘penthouse’ floors above roof level to increase the overall capacity of the building, modifications to the facades and the conversion of the ground floor car showroom into a ‘high class’ restaurant.

Following the granting of the detailed planning permission Dyer were retained to undertake a full refurbishment of the building including the office floors, common areas and entrance lobby, the conversion of the existing car showroom into ‘high class’ restaurant and the addition of the two further ‘penthouse’ office floors. The building remained operational whilst the refurbishment, including the addition of the two 'pent-house' floors, was undertaken. The refurbishment was undertaken on a floor by floor basis with the tenants being relocated as required. Part of Dyer’s commission was to project manage the decant strategy

The average area of each floor plate was 2,500 sq ft with excellent natural light. The refurbishment included the upgrade of the accommodation including air conditioning, IT systems, lighting etc. to meet the demands of contemporary office space. A new canopy spanning the full width of the building signifies the entrance to the office building and identifies an external seating area for the restaurant.
