30 Mount Row, London, W1K 3SH

Studio Mackereth Architects took their inspiration for this new gallery / retail building at 30 Mount Row from the immediate context and rich building heritage of old Mayfair. A subtle reinterpretation of many of these traditional architectural details that embellish the period façades of the surrounding buildings, combined with a contemporary look, dramatic form and a simple palette of materials has ensured this new space has an appropriate grandeur and sits harmoniously within its streetscape.

The oversized pivoting glass door at street level frames a tempting glimpse of the striking garden and rear pavilion that sits behind the main building. Here, the sheer scale of the space is striking. A Faceted bronze origami-style folding roof provides a clever structure that enables clear, uninterrupted floors and voluminous space.

The architectural design has been tailored to suit the needs of a gallery, luxury retail, showroom or concept store with walls, floors and ceilings across the levels built to withstand large loads to enable easy access and the display of oversized heavy display pieces.

Modern, Exclusive, discreet. Mayfair. 30 Mount Row will be the latest arrival to Mayfair, an area renowned for its prestigious fashion, retail destinations and Michelin-starred restaurants as well as some of the capital's most celebrated art galleries.
