Lavington Street Hotel

View all projects

This new hotel completes an ensemble of buildings at the junction of Great Suffolk Street and Lavington Street just behind our studios in Bankside. Sharing a party wall with the adjacent student housing, there are 16 rooms each on levels one to six, with an additional two levels in a set-back zinc-clad roof pavilion. On a gentle curve, the main brick facade to Lavington Street with exaggerated metal cills and expressed lintels lightly references its Victorian neighbours. The rear elevation facing the courtyard has angled, etched glass screens to provide screening and solar shading to the hotel windows.
