Bonhams, which is one of the oldest and biggest auctioneers of fine art and antiquities in the world, just underwent a brand-new branding initiative. The auction house has made it a priority to considerably improve the quality of its estate in light of the limited opportunities for growth that it has. The project is driven by the estate’s severe rights-to-light concerns as well as its complicated party wall and crossrail considerations since the estate is composed of listed buildings and is surrounded by them. The plan and the investment of £30 million that it represents will ensure that the 220-year-old tradition of auctioneering that Bonhams has maintained in central London will continue. This will be accomplished by disentangling the maze of historic structures that currently occupy the site and replacing them with a contemporary building that provides a highly sophisticated auction experience. Visitors to the Bonhams auction house on 101 New Bond Street are greeted with the spectacle of a light-filled atrium that rises to the full 18.5 meter height of the building after passing through the establishment’s constricted entry. This open and airy atrium, which is white and bright, takes the place of four stories’ worth of inaccessible rooms. It also has fluted lightboxes spaced at regular intervals, which hint to the levels of the building’s previous floors. A quick walk from this entrance along a glazed-roofed route places visitors directly in the center of the action: behind an impressive carbon-fibre reception desk, a glass wall reveals the double-height space of bonhams’ main auction space, which is 235 square meters and called the new bond street saleroom. VIP bidders get access to a special gallery located on the mezzanine level, which provides a good view of the whole saleroom. Three salerooms are laid up as a vertical stack of generously sized, fully-flexible spaces with outstanding acoustics for auction and exhibition purposes. These salerooms may be used for either. Each saleroom receives natural light from the outside via the glass elevator shafts as well as the interior windows. A lighting system that is recessed into the gently arched soffit provides an enhancement to the natural light. The three passenger elevators in the building ascend in glass shafts, which also serve as external windows of the structure facing west. The terracotta brise-soleil that conceals the elevators is a material allusion to the other two historic facades of Bonhams. Walking access is provided between the three public floors of the building by means of a spiral staircase that is made of wood and midnight blue steel. A destination that will give a peaceful suntrap during the day and an outdoor place for art and events as well as eating in the evening, haunch of venison yard’s exquisite front encloses a new manicured courtyard that is serviced by a café and brasserie. the brand-new London location of Bonhams photography by hufton + crow, nina sologubenko, and alan marten; compilation by pari syal; courtesy of the architects mayfair, located in the center of London’s art scene, is the location of the new worldwide headquarters for bonhams, which delivers the most cutting-edge auction experience anywhere in the world… copy: Bonhams, which is one of the oldest and biggest auctioneers of fine art and antiquities in the world, just underwent a brand-new branding initiative.
