In gaining consent for a 65–room extension and new gatehouse entrance at Marriott Hanbury Manor, ReardonSmith had to resolve a number of problems. The original property was Grade II*, in listed parkland within an historic garden, all located within London's greenbelt. The solution was a fine balance between respect for historic precedent, contemporary expectations and operational realities resulting in an extension which, while recognisably within a modern vernacular, sits comfortably with its older neighbours.

Working very closely with the local authority ReardonSmith detailed and refined the design to meet the expectations of the conservation departments and English Heritage. A scheme for the re–design and replanting the gardens was also prepared and approved by the planning department.
