Rigby & Rigby Featured in Spear's Magazine: “Clean Air Act”

Rigby & Rigby is proud to be featured in Magazine for delivering the world’s first private residence to achieve Platinum certification by AirRated. This ground-breaking recognition highlights the studio’s commitment to innovation, wellness, and environmental excellence in the luxury residential sector.

The article reads:

"Developer Rigby & Rigby's new Knightsbridge property - known as Project 089 - is making history. It's the first residential building anywhere to be awarded 'platinum' status by AirRated, an air certification body, for its indoor air quality. 'The historic "first in the world" certification is a blueprint for the future', says the firm.

It's all achieved seamlessly through filtration systems and airtight seals that ensure the building remains free of any external pollutants - good enough, we're told, even to keep out nasties like coronavirus. But can you tell the air is any different? Is it like breathing the air of the Swiss Alps?

Alas not, admits architect Mark Cowley, who enthuses: 'It's just incredible to know that we are getting that high level of air quality - equivalent almost to a laboratory level or an operating theatre level in terms of quality.' You can't knock progress, can you?"

“To see this accomplishment recognised in Spear’s magazine is both an honour and a powerful reflection of our ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries in design, innovation, and environmental performance.”

– Mark Cowley, Studio Director, Architecture

By spotlighting this world-first, Spears affirms Rigby & Rigby’s role as a pioneer in setting new global standards for residential wellness.
