After more than two decades behind closed doors, Cambridge House is preparing to reopen as one of London’s most significant new luxury destinations. Studio PDP is leading the complex adaptive reuse of the Grade I-listed mansion, combining heritage conservation, structural innovation and contemporary hospitality to create a 102-room hotel, seven private residences and extensive dining, members’ and wellbeing spaces.

Completed in the 1930s, Shell Mex House is a landmark riverside building known for its scale, flexibility and iconic façade. Studio PDP’s transformation repositions the building for modern use, introducing a new Strand entrance to enhance visibility and connection to Covent Garden. A hospitality-led approach creates a grand reception, shared amenities and activated courtyards, improving occupier experience. A CAT-A refurbishment upgrades performance and flexibility, delivering a future-ready workplace that builds on the building’s historic character while enhancing its commercial value.

Studio PDP is leading the transformation of The Elephant at 318 Oxford Street, repositioning the historic former D H Evans department store as a high-performing mixed-use destination while preserving its Art Deco heritage. The project demonstrates how London’s interwar retail buildings can be reimagined to deliver long-term commercial value and cultural relevance.

How can historic department stores become some of the most valuable assets in the next chapter of Oxford Street’s evolution?

“A masterclass in how a heritage building can be protected and future-proofed while occupied.”
