Asprey, Bond Street, London W1 Behind its famous shop front in London’s Mayfair, Asprey consisted of seven listed buildings, forming a warren of inconvenient spaces, different levels and poor connections. This stunning, RIBA Award-winning redevelopment with Foster and Partners and Gilmore Hankey Kirke has created a covered courtyard at the centre, its glass roof resting lightly on the surrounding buildings and with a feature spiral staircase. Our bold engineering solutions combine stiffening measures for structures weakened by years of alteration with a support structure for the 18th century upper levels, enabling the wide ground level openings essential for the success of the store. < back         © Alan Baxter & Associates LLP 2007
