About this deal

I don't blame myself too much, though, because the writing style is so much like fiction, and it's so immediate, I probably would have forgotten it was a book of straight-up non-fiction even if I'd known at the start. And its transformation of St Giles High Street into St Giles Square completes the whole development; tying the various buildings together into a tranquil, south-facing public space – the first new public square in the West End for years. So it felt like a description of the moves of chess pieces intermingled snippets from a scrap book of side stories. The owners have really thought of everything to make your stay a really enjoyable one and I would highly recommend Lion House.

The buildings were formed of four structurally independent parts and exhibit remarkable structural ingenuity. The house contains large public rooms on the ground floor with bedrooms on the upper floors and was home to as many as 12 of Young's wives, including Eliza R. To achieve this, there were no permanent allies and no permanent enemies-several European powers relied on Suleyman the Magnificent to keep the Hapsburgs in check!

I would recommend this book to people who want a fresh and new way of learning, or to people who find reading nonfiction dry and boring. For all its finesse, this still inevitably feels somewhat like an office conversion – if a very high-end one. Across London, both councils and the Greater London Authority are handing over council land and granting planning permission to high-end developments that are little more than investment opportunities for global capital, much of it from high corruption risk jurisdictions, and being tossed coppers in compensation. The spatially separated stairs are connected at second floor level, allowing flexibility in the building’s use and occupation. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by the contemporary interior, housing all the essentials you could possibly need, in addition to quality features to ensure a memorable stay for a group of all ages and tastes.

The house is situated at 63 East South Temple, near the corner of South Temple and State Street, just one block east of Temple Square. The project, completed in 2008, hosted many suitability features with the focus aimed at integrating these systems into the design features of the building. The building undertakes a civic role, acting as a gateway to the new St Giles Square from the south and defining a new public space in front, re-establishing the historic streetscape, with façades sculpted and embossed in collaboration with pattern designer Eley Kishimoto. Large structural movements from the existing 1960s structure had to be accommodated by the glass within very minimal head and base restraint details. Pass through the original strong room door and prison-like gate into the beautiful country kitchen where a gas fired AGA and plenty more excellent appliances can assist you in rustling up some fabulous meals to be enjoyed around the dining table.Like Napoleon three centuries later, he codified the laws of his empire into a single legal code that endured for more than three hundred years.
