Two-thirds of those who voted on ΢Ȧ’s website would like to see Qatari Diar’s Chelsea Barracks scheme designed by Quinlan Terry, Prince Charles’ preferred architect

More than 1,000 readers responded to the poll, 68% of them in favour of Terry’s design. Thirty-two per cent supported the plans drawn up by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.

Francis Terry, Quinlan’s son and partner in the business, said: “We are all so pleased with the results of your survey.”

Rogers was originally commissioned to masterplan the £1bn scheme and design its residential elements on Chelsea Bridge Road, west London. These include 319 luxury apartments and the same number of affordable ones.
