8 St. James's Square 8 ST. JAMES’S SQUARE LONDON SW1 THE ONLY SQUARE IN ST JAMES’S View of the building from the square. WELCOME TO A NEW LANDMARK An exceptional location demands a building to match – this was the philosophy that inspired 8 St. James’s Square. Set in a prominent position on one of London’s pre-eminent squares, this building sets new standards in both architecture and quality of space. Perfectly in scale with the original grand townhouse façades that look onto the square. 8 St. James’s Square’s distinctive lines are illuminated at night, creating a dramatic presence at the gateway to the square. THE FINEST ADDRESS, THE FINEST OFFICES 8 St. James’s Square provides 65,534 sq ft (6,088 sq m) of the highest quality office space across eight open and expansive floors, with terraces on the upper floors offering the best views in St James’s and benefitting from natural light on three elevations. The stylish and welcoming reception is a celebration of refined design. In an echo of the site’s historic connection with Josiah Wedgewood, the space is now home to works by renowned Brazilian ceramicist Carina Ciscato. GENEROSITY OF SPACE The reception’s coffered ceiling elegantly flows through to the generously proportioned lift hall. Here, crisp white walls contrast with the curved jet-black surrounds of the four glass-backed lifts. OFFICES THAT WORK BEAUTIFULLY SECOND FLOOR Large open floor plates SECOND FLOOR The art glass feature windows overlooking Apple Tree Yard. THIRD FLOOR Column-free floors. SECOND FLOOR Efficient, bright offices. Emerging into sunlight, the lift bank is lined in distinctive Carrara marble. The ever-changing view. THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE Dark brickwork, hand picked and polished granite, glazed curtain walling, limestone, aluminium, hand-drawn glass and bronze perfectly combine to create an architectural delight. THE SCULPTOR STEPHEN COX Acclaimed sculptor Stephen Cox has created exquisite hand-carved stonework for the fabric of 8 St. James’s Square. Having worked in India for over a quarter of a century, he was the ideal artist to collaborate on a site so strongly connected to Sir Edwin Lutyens, who was himself known for his instrumental role in architectural design throughout New Delhi. THE ART GLASS Eric Parry’s concept for the distinctive projecting bay features ten patinated bronze framed windows to create a glazed elevation of subtle and flowing lines. The windows were detailed by John Crisfield of Sculpture Factory and incorporate around four hundred individually shaped pieces of glass. They were manufactured THE ARCHITECT by his team of skilled craftsmen at the company’s ERIC PARRY workshops in Somerset. Eric Parry Architects is an award-winning practice with a reputation for delivering diverse projects to the highest standards of design and detail. By gathering together talented individuals with a wide range of experience and cultural backgrounds, the team is able to operate successfully within any frame of reference. From London to the Far East. From historic and cultural to contemporary and commercial. Beautiful details inside and out give 8 St. James’s Square discrete visual strength. Although in perfect harmony with the square’s existing architecture, it is a statement building in its own right.

  • Peter Carolin, Born 1936
    PETER CAROLIN, BORN 1936 The fifth generation of a Scots South American family, Peter Carolin’s naval National Service included the Suez debacle of 1956. As an architect, he worked for John Voelcker of Team 10 and with Colin St John Wilson on the British Library. He edited both the Architect’s Journal, Magazine of the Year, 1985, and arq, which was awarded the learned journal equivalent, 2002.

Introduction My father, a pipe smoker, was an unliterary man. And yet he loved books. He had an extraordinarily fine collection of antiquarian editions on Brazil. But I never saw him reading any of them and the only writing of his own that survives are his meticulous account books and a dry-as-dust book on how to set up a company in Brazil. We never tried to persuade him to write a memoir of his life – I think we knew that he wouldn’t have done so, for his Irishness was of a rather puritan kind and, despite an interesting life, he was not a man to talk about it or to see it in a wider perspective.

This apartment is in a building that we developed, but as it had been sold off plan, I was never able to enjoy the finished product, until this visit. Living on one floor in the city was such a special way of life that I came back to London determined to find a building that we could develop and create something similar in a fine urban location. Mayfair has undergone a renaissance, and has become known as an area at the centre of the cultural zeitgeist. Wrapped in a distinguished cloak of heritage and discretion are homes for the finest stores such as Hermès and Commes des Garçons and contemporary art galleries such as David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Blain Southern. All of this alongside the bespoke traditions of Savile Row and Piccadilly, for which London was always famous, set the backdrop for what happened next.

  • Annual Report 09-10
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE KETTLE’S YARD COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 2009-10 1 Introduction – Kettle’s Yard The year has been busy and productive. In mid-winter we heard that the Heritage Lottery Fund had made an initial grant towards our plans to complete Kettle’s Yard. That encouraging news was followed by significant progress towards achieving our goal. As we write, we are in the midst of preparing our follow-up bid to the HLF which, if successful, will bring us within £1m of our £5m appeal target – and, we hope, within a year of being able to build. While that has been going on in the background, we can claim a vintage year for exhibitions, framed by the work of two remarkable women artists – the dramatic photographic works of the Portuguese artist Helena Almeida and the serene paintings of the Canadian/American Agnes Martin. Between those shows came ‘Modern Times: responding to chaos’, an anthology of 20th and 21st century drawing and film, described by the Independent critic as ‘the best bit of curating I have seen for a while’. Music and education flourished and the year also saw the completion and launch of ‘ReCollection’ the on-line oral history of Kettle’s Yard. 2 Staff Mr Michael Harrison continued as Director, assisted by Mr Sebastiano Barassi, Curator of Collections, Ms Susie Biller, Marketing and Events Officer, Ms Sarah Campbell, Education Officer, Ms Elizabeth Fisher, Curator of Exhibitions, Ms Caroline Sier, Development Officer, Mrs Maree Allitt, Bookshop Manager, Mr Paul Allitt, Designer/Technician, Ms Lara Gisborne, Administrator, Ms Deborah Owen, Ms Sabrina Rippon and Mrs Carolyn Emery, Gallery Assistants, and Mr Andrew Maddocks, cleaner.
