This Grade II* Listed London Town House was designed and occupied by Colen Campbell in 1726. Campbell was a pioneering Scottish Architect who originally trained as a Lawyer, but between 1695 and 1702 he travelled to Italy, where he was greatly influenced by the works of Vitruvius and Palladio. In 1715 he published the first edition of his major work, Vitruvius Britannicus (British Architect) which catalogued English Buildings by the likes of Sir Christopher Wren, Inigo Jones and Campbell himself. Campbell and the other Classical Revivalists believed that English architecture should be purified of the Baroque extravagances of Hawksmoor and Gibbs and their aesthetic continued to influence the development of English architecture into the 19th Century.
Brook Street was built by campbell in 1726 and occupied until his death in 1729. The building retains many original features, including the paneling and chimney piece in the rear parlour. The drawings for which were published in Campbell’s edition of ‘The Five Orders of Architecture’ in 1729.
The building is currently being restored and refurbished to provide 21st Century office accommodation in the heart of Mayfair.
