Key quotes
· 2 pulledBentley aimed to restore the front facade of the 1930s building to its original design by removing later additions that detracted from the geometric art deco silhouette.
This contrasts with sweeping changes made at the rear of the building, where an extension with expansive glazing was added to create light-filled interiors.
