The designs would see the refurbishment of a cluster of buildings at the former site of the Royal Mint
David Chipperfield Architects’ (DCA) designs for the Chinese embassy’s controversial new premises would impact views of the nearby Tower of London, according to pre-application documents.
The Chinese government announced plans to move its UK embassy from its current home opposite the RIBA’s headquarters on Portland Place to more spacious digs two years ago.
China bought the site, which was occupied by the Royal Mint from 1809 to 1968, from developer Delancey in 2018.
The location, in an area which is home to the UK’s largest Muslim population, has been controversial because of China’s widely condemned human rights violations against the country’s Uighur Muslim population.
