This week’s #buildingdoodle sketch is by Alan Dempsey, founding director at Nex Architecture. He says: “The Duke of York Restaurant is on the King’s Road, Chelsea. Its spiralling wall ties this building with the past by echoing the adjacent grade II-listed front facade of the Duke of York Headquarters. It is cut in places to form a colonnade for sheltered seating. Glass panels lower into the basement, transforming the ground floor into an outdoor space during summer months.”
