The building is located within St James’s Conservation Area and occupies a section of the north-east side of the square adjacent to No.7, designed by the renowned English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Eric Parry Architects’ multi-layered building responds to the spirit of the place and the surrounding buildings while providing one of London’s finest squares with a contemporary building that mediates between square, street and the rear yard. 8 St James’s Square presents 3 distinctive facades featuring rich materiality that along with versatile frontage widths and heights add a unique character to the building.
