Lazari Investments secures planning for Foster + Partners’ transformation of the former Fenwick store on New Bond Street. The Foster + Partners-designed scheme includes world class Bond Street retail on the ground and first floors with offices from the second to ninth floors. A number of facades will be sensitively lifted through innovative engineering to align the floorplates above, creating four spectacular two-storey retail units that will benefit from increased floor heights. The new high-quality shopfronts will complement the existing facades and activate the corner. “Our design is about revitalising the historic Fenwick buildings, preserving the majority of the existing structure and giving the buildings a new lease of life. The rich history and tradition of New Bond Street is reinforced through a revitalised street front, and the design breathes new life into the upper levels by introducing state-of-the-art office space. This ambitious project will act as a catalyst, injecting energy into this part of the city and underscoring the area's global presence.” Norman Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman at Foster + Partners. Targeting the highest “Outstanding” BREEAM rating, the scheme will retain over 50% of the existing structure, approximately 75% of the historic facades and will have an upfront carbon measure of 463kgCO2e/m2, which meets and exceeds industry targets. ??
