Scope and content
In 1994/1995, Terry Farrell & Company submitted a scheme for an addition to a series of converted Robert Adam townhouses in Charlotte Square, with the aim to provide speculative office accommodation. The scheme, developed for Scottish Widows, proposed retaining numbers 15-17 Charlotte Square in their entirety, but to replace the buildings in the ‘backland’ behind the townhouses with a new grouping of low rise-office blocks and a basement carpark. These were of the same massing as the existing buildings and were to be joined to the townhouses by a new glass link. The areas around the new buildings were to be landscaped, and the interior and exterior of the original buildings cleared of accretions and restored (including the reinstating of the original roofscape). Inside the building units the plan allowed for a number of letting arrangements, with the new building linked to numbers 15 and 16, and 17 remained a self-contained unit.
