Location
Hanover Square is a notable public square situated in the heart of the West End. Established in the early 18th century, it exudes an air of historical charm blended with modern sophistication. The square is bordered by an array of elegant Georgian and early Victorian buildings, many of which house prestigious offices, high-end retail stores, and fashionable eateries. The central feature of Hanover Square is its lush, manicured garden, a green oasis amid the bustling urban environment.
Prominent landmarks near Hanover Square include the chic department store Liberty, the renowned shopping destination of Oxford Street, and the prestigious Mayfair district, which lies just to the west. The square is well-served by public transportation, with Oxford Circus underground station (0.2 miles) and Bond Street underground station (0.2 miles) within a short walking distance, providing easy access to the rest of London.
Description
Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, Hanover Bond is inspired by its surroundings yet utterly modern, its Mayfair heritage expressed with a contemporary accent. Formed of two towers connected by an iconic glass core, its panelled construction is a contemporary reimagining of the Florentine palazzi that inspired Mayfair’s original architects, while cutting edge construction techniques allow layouts of openness and flexibility. The steel structure is clad in handmade 1.5m long bricks, which reference the traditional context, as do the generous windows and Juliet balconies to each residence. Behind its elegantly simple façade, it will be filled with light and energy, the triple-height glass atrium and glass lift shafts will flood the building's communal spaces with light.
The principal bathroom is serene, with a bespoke carved stone double vanity unit and carved stone walls that flow around the room, sitting within panels that echo the framing of the Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners façade. The double-ended bathtub sits in a carved stone surround, above slab marble floors. The expansive wardrobes feature leather panels with metal frame detailing and the dressing station includes a mirror with integrated lighting. An elegant carpet inlay adds a delicate and tactile feel to the space. The panelled motif continues in the secondary bathrooms, and the separate shower and WC rooms are concealed behind fluted glass doors.
