Recognising that 'design is useless if it doesn't work,' we involved the property's operational manager from day one. Guest flow became the central pillar of our design. Building on a 'house style' we had already dialled in with the client from previous projects, we designed bespoke FF&E for each distinct space.
The ground floor was transformed into a moody cigar lounge, perfect for discreet meetings and recalibration. The first floor was divided into the timeless boardroom and the 'Thames Lounge.' For this space, we designed a custom art deco-inspired bar as a centrepiece, perfectly framing the iconic river views. The two-year journey resulted in a space where modern, understated luxury and operational excellence bring the building's incredible history to life.
