In November 2016, the planning application was submitted for a major new mixed-use development on London’s Strand.

Adjaye Associates and boutique Development Manager, Alchemi Group, have placed the application for 5 Strand, adjacent to Trafalgar Square, which aims to make a ‘positive contribution to the character of the Trafalgar Square Conservation Area.’

The development will provide 62,000 sq. ft of Grade A office space along with two retail units at ground level. 26 premier apartments will also be provided, with a concierge-manned entrance on Craven Street.

The design of the façade illustrates the striking use of repeated arches, which can be seen on all sides of the building, as well as on the undercroft. This has been inspired by the recurring arch-and-column motif along Trafalgar Square, the Strand, the Mall and Pall Mall.

On the front Strand-side, the arches are joined by columns, providing the façade with increased depth and complexity compared to the more restrained side facades. Similar textures and materials – a palette of stone and bronze – will be used to provide cohesion with the 19th and 20th century ceremonial buildings that characterise the area.

Due to the prominent location of the development, the building design was informed by an extensive pre-application consultation process which evolved over 12 months. Adjaye Associates consulted extensively with the likes of Westminster City Council, Greater London, WCC Highways Department, St James’s Ward, and Historic England.
