Notes

Drawings [5] and [6] are labelled as 'Design No 2' and 'Design No 3', so it might be reasonable to call this 'Design No 1'. Based on rough pencil alterations to drawing [1], this design is characterised by the 'kinked' design of the stairs which return eastwards and lead to a gallery of communication that provides access to Dorset House (at the bottom of the sheet).
