Z-Hotel

earlearchitects

Client: ART Developments Ltd. Location: Soho, London Project Value: £3.5m (shell & core), £4m (fitout) Date: Completed January 2007

This £7.5m scheme consists of 33 hotel rooms, spa, gym, bistro, restaurant and bars in the heart of Soho. There are also three residential buildings refurbished into seven apartments within the two Grade II listed buildings.

The complex triangular island site involved six party wall awards and complex rights of lights issues.

The extension of the basement involved working in close proximity to London Underground’s Northern Line tunnels. The hotel has an internal courtyard designed to link 12 buildings, previously used for prostitution, drugs and gambling, with a four flight stainless steel spiral staircase. A series of suspended walkways overlook the space, and create open and spacious access to the rooms.

The owner appointed interior designers to fit out the spaces and since opening in 2011 the Z Hotel has received excellent reviews from The Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph, among others. The ���� project is also featured in the book “Architectural Voices: Listening To Old Buildings” by David Littlefield and Saskia Lewis.

Client: Lensbury Club Ltd. Location: Teddington, Middlesex Project Value: ÂŁ1.3m Date: Completed May 2006

This new extension to an old mansion style hotel and private members club house is an all glass pavilion with a pre-patinated copper roof. The new build element is a new 8x40m lounge / restaurant for the Lensbury Club Hotel and is situated on the banks of the Thames at Teddington Lock. The scheme is in Metropolitan Open Land within the Thames flood plain and is built on stilts to the approval of the Environment Agency.

The idea of the glass extension was to bring the exterior into the building and allow the visitors of the club to be closer to the picturesque woodland surroundings.

The project was completed in summer 2006 and was built after Earle Architects successfully secured planning consent following an invitation to compete in a limited competition.

Mounton House

Client: Paul Cook and Armin Bienger Location: Chepstow, Wales Project Value: Confidential Date: Ongoing Earle Architects were asked by Paul Cook & Armin Bienger to prepare designs for a reconfiguration and fit-out of Mounton House, a grade II* listed building in Chepstow, Wales, dating from 1911. The aim of this project was to sensitively adapt the property - which is one of the first concrete buildings in Wales - to the needs of the owners while maintaining and restoring the integrity of the building and its original features.

The existing property has an entrance hall, kitchen, great room and drawing room on ground floor (with ornate plaster ceilings), while first floor has ten bedrooms and six bathrooms. The alterations to ground floor, completed in 2013, included the fit out of a new kitchen and adaptation of a window to allow access from the kitchen to the garden. Upstairs, a new stateof-the-art bathroom suite was installed and crude sub-divisions from the 1990s were removed.

Following on from these alterations, Earle architects have been asked to prepare further designs for the reconfiguration of the remainder of the property, continuing to sensitively restore the building to its original state.

Client: Surrey Square School Location: Southwark, London Project Value: ÂŁ1.5m Date: Completed June 2016

Earle Architects were asked by Surrey Square School to carry out a feasibility study on an underused area of the school grounds in order to raise funds for a new Early Years Centre (also by Earle Architects).

The site was subsequently purchased by developers, Guildmore, who completed the detail design and constructed the building between August 2015 and May 2016.

The destinctive design consist of identical flats mirrored over alternate floors to maximise the levels of sunlight reaching each of the generous balconies, which are positioned at the edges of the floor plates. The flats are designed to Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 standard; power and water usage will be reduced and on-site renewable energy will be generated via roof top photovoltaic cells.
