Structural Steel Design Awards 2024 shortlist 22.08.24

One Great Cumberland Place has been shortlisted for the 2024 Structural Steel Design Awards.

A late 1920’s façade retention and regeneration scheme, One Great Cumberland Place delivers high-end office and retail space within in the enhanced envelope of a prominent heritage asset in the heart of Marylebone.

Located directly opposite London’s Hyde Park with Marble Arch as a prominent neighbour, this project was delivered as part of The Portman Estate’s ‘Sustainable Vision for Marble Arch’. Bringing high quality, flexible workplace fit for modern usage the scheme delivers seven floors of Cat A office space and three floors of high-quality retail area. A new internal steel structure with composite deck is tied into the façade which has been retained, carefully and respectfully enhanced and extended to accommodate an additional rooftop office floor using varying construction methods.

Matthew Poole, Managing Director for Galliford Try Building London and South East Commercial, commented: “This nomination is a significant acknowledgement following the successful redevelopment of this remarkable building. This project not only showcases the innovative use of steel in creating sustainable and flexible spaces but also represents our commitment to preserving architectural heritage while embracing modern design."

Sponsored by the British Constructional Steelwork Association, the Structural Steel Design Awards showcase projects that utilise steel-based systems in sustainable, flexible and versatile applications in buildings across the UK.

The winners will be announced at the annual awards ceremony in September.
