The Duke of York Restaurant for Cadogan occupies a prominent position in Chelsea’s bustling Duke of York Square, providing a new leisure venue and enhancing the public realm along the King’s Road.

The building’s spiralling, sculptural form references the adjacent Grade II listed wall of the Duke of York Headquarters, and features a pioneering, retractable curved glazing system, allowing dining to spill onto the surrounding square in summer. Above, a public roof garden offers a peaceful retreat from the streetscape.
