MORTIMER HOUSE

The project transformed an art-deco building in central London into a members-only work and leisure destination, aiming to combine the perks of a private club with those of a co-working office.

  • The 2,900-square-metre members’ club is located in a seven storey block on Mortimer Street in Fitzrovia, and includes coworking spaces, restaurant. bars, lounges, gym and event spaces.

  • The building, which had been been used as an office since the 1970s needed to be completely gutted before work began.

  • A new elevator core was inserted and two new balconies were added to the top two floors.

  • Original wooden floors were uncovered and used in the bar and lounge spaces and an original terrazzo floor in the central stairwell where the original bannister was also restored.

  • In the entrance lobby, an intricate mosaic has been mended and restored. Inspired by the building’s art deco heritage, the interiors feature original wooden floors, marble counters, oak-panelled walls, exposed terracotta ceilings, brass light fittings and cane doors.

  • Walls are painted in dusty pinks, greens and blues in keeping with the colours of the era.

  • The open plan kitchen on the ground floor was designed to provide the theatre of the kitchen into play and dumb waiters were used to link this to the floor above for private dining opportunities.

  • The upstairs bar includes a fully service front and back bar within a library style environment.
