Royal Pavilion interior
ast year saw the Square
in the spotlight like never
before, when the Queen
Mother statue was unveiled
by Her Majesty The Queen
and The Prince of Wales.
On the same day as the special visit
by HRH The Queen, the Duchess of
Cornwall Inn was also officially opened
by the Duchess of Cornwall.
Now six months on, the brand new
venue is alive with customers and is
already an ever-popular fixture for
locals and visitors.
The south side of the square was
completed in 2011 and later that year
Waitrose was officially opened by
The Prince of Wales during one of his
previous Royal visits.
At the very core of the Queen Mother
Square project is the Royal Pavilion,
a residential block of 20 luxury
apartments with plans for a spa and
shop. Currently under construction
with a completion date of February next
year, the building's architecture and
interior has been impressively designed
by the Dorset and London based
architect Ben Pentreath.
Next to Royal Pavilion is the equally
stunning Strathmore House that opened
in April last year. Built by ZeroC
and designed by the leading classical
architects Quinlan & Francis Terry,
Strathmore House has pride of place in
Queen Mother Square.
One of the recent architectural
highlights of Queen Mother Square is
Jubilee Hall, which incorporates
rescued materials from Weymouth’s
demolished Jubilee Hall.
Another major construction is that of
the 62 one and two bedroom assisted
living apartments exclusively for the
over 70s. Known as Bowes Lyon Court,
the McCarthy & Stone development
fronts Peverell Avenue West and is
truly a showcase development for them,
complete with an orangery and a library.
There are also many popular
businesses located in Queen Mother
Square inlcusing Dorset Wines, Brace of
Butchers and Waitrose.
The original vision for the Square to
be at the heart of Poundbury has finally
started to come into fruition.
