£6.5m project will transform Royal Society of Sculptors building

Purcell has won full planning and listed building consent for the restoration of the headquarters of the Royal Society of Sculptors in South Kensington.

The project will rehabilitate Dora House’s historic 19th-century facade alongside essential works to safeguard the exterior of the building. It is due to complete summer 2022.

It is the first phase of a £6.5m five-year programme to conserve and transform the ornate, Dutch-gabled building into a leading centre of sculpture and 3D art.
