Hans Crescent in Knightsbridge is undergoing a transformation to enhance its pedestrian accessibility. The project, commissioned by the Knightsbridge Estate and Harrods, aims to create a more pleasant environment for visitors and shoppers.
Redesign Details and Features
The redesign, developed by Andy Sturgeon Design, includes the installation of new paving in mottled grey, sand, and pale peach tones. Renderings indicate the addition of six planters that incorporate seating, offering places for people to rest. Approximately 80 square metres of planting will be introduced, alongside an updated lighting scheme intended to complement the historic architecture of the street. The plans also allow for temporary art installations.
