Marylebone Square
Marylebone Square
Our work on the £110m, mixed-use Marylebone Square scheme created a nine-storey, 25,160 sq m building on the site of the former Moxon Street carpark – the last whole city block in the W1 postcode to be developed.
Working in collaboration with E8 Architecture, our structural engineering involved deep excavation below ground to allow for dedicated car parking space within a three-storey basement for all four surrounding streets. Five residential floors containing 79 apartments sit above retail, restaurant and community facilities including a community hall housing a farmers’ market on Sundays.
The complex layout of the basement involves multiple levels of transfer structures to accommodate the different uses in the building and limited structural zones due to height restrictions on the building.
Internally, the building has no corridors, with all the apartments reached via a central courtyard. The concrete structure is clad in a glazed ceramic facade, with cast aluminium balustrades.
The project was designed in 3D using Revit following Level 2 BIM protocols, which helped to resolve the complex geometry and co-ordinate the services distribution through the building.
