This project (2003 – April 2007) was based around a collaborative masterplan between the Crown Estates and The British Land Company that aimed to enhance the local environment by improving pedestrian connectivity and enhancing the public realm. The project incorporated the development of a mixed use area comprising office accommodation, residential apartments, a community theatre, retail provision and a new public square. The development was split into two distinct phases that included structures A (No 1 Great Portland Street), B (No 1 Soane Street) and C (Trinity Mews), along with the design of new public spaces and includes an extension of numbers 10 and 20 Triton Street.

Key features of this development are focused around Osnaburgh Street, Euston Road and Triton Street. The footprints of the office blocks were partially determined by viewpoints from public areas, this included reducing the scope of 10 Triton Street to maximise visibility to 20 Triton Street and ensure a frontage view from Euston Road. This also increased the amount of space allocated to the public realm. Additionally, a new pedestrian crossing on the Euston Road, south-east from Triton Street and funded by British Land plc improved access to the site and connected it with the more established commercial districts of Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia, along with Regent’s Park and King’s Cross.
