Shoreditch
Located on the edge of the City of London, where it meets the South Shoreditch Conservation Area, this mixed-use development comprises a 135 bed luxury boutique hotel, conference facilities and an integral restaurant and cafe / bar, as well as self contained office space.
Design and conservation issues were balanced with the site's valuable location and its development potential. This resulted in the replacement of the existing redundant office building on the site, which will result in a more appropriate development in keeping with the South Shoreditch Conservation Area and with a BREEAM rating of Excellent.
The design has developed to reflect the existing urban grain and with a contextual appearance. The ground floor contains the main public spaces and this results in an active facade bringing life to the street where previously there was none. The development includes two basement levels, ground plus five upper storeys.
The materials are a mixture of London stock brick, steel and glass with a nod to the existing Victorian warehouse accommodation found in the immediate vicinity.
