Mixed & Civic Westminster
Baker Street & Dorset Square: Period offices, residential squares, and a transport-hub rhythm that shapes access and timing.
Baker Street combines commercial office stock with the quieter residential character of Dorset Square and the surrounding streets. The main road is busy and commercially oriented, but the side streets hold well-maintained period homes and garden squares. The transport hub brings footfall and access constraints that shape how work is planned and delivered.
