Emrys Architects has completed Berners and Wells, a mixed-use development in Fitzrovia, north of Oxford Street in central London. Delivered for the Berners-Allsopp Estate and Schroders, the project spans two urban blocks and provides more than 7,000 sqm of office and retail space, alongside upgrades to the surrounding public realm.

The scheme includes the partial demolition and retention of historic fabric, notably an Edwardian facade on Wells Street. Two connected buildings are arranged across the site, linked above Wells Mews. The lower two storeys accommodate flexible retail units, while the upper levels provide workspace designed to support post-pandemic working patterns.
