Notes

There are a few subtle differences between this design for the basement made in September and the previous design dated 26 August 1823 (SM 51/2/9). In the new design, the open-newel staircase to the south of the building is made narrower. The fenestration of the south front is changed and the south-west ante-room (beneath the Scala Regia) is altered to include two oval vestibules that provide access to the basement. The west wall of the old building (to the left of the drawing) is retained, whereas in the previous design it had been rebuilt along a more regular line.
