Shoreditch Rooms
Ebor Street, London, United Kingdom
The brief was set out to provide a 26 room boutique
hotel together with day spa facilities This new venture would compliment the
existing facilities offered by the famous Shoreditch House Members Club in East
London.
The new hotel sits adjacent to, and above, the
existing entrance to the club and occupies the last remaining vacant plot on
the Tea Building/Biscuit building urban block. The site had been occupied by a pub, the White Swan which
had sat empty for a number of years and had fallen into a state of some
dereliction.
The design can be read as a box within a box whereby
a new, contemporary, structure rises from behind the façade of the old
pub. This new piece, being 3
stories high, matches the height of the Victorian façade below but is clad in
corten steel, which takes the form of a series of folded plates. The form is more reminiscent of an old
engineering structure, or a pieces of discarded equipment, than a new
building. However the tonal
qualities of the corten steel sits in harmony with the historic brickwork of
the adjacent warehouses. The new
composition completes, what had been, an empty corner and reinstates a
consistent parapet height around the urban block. The building is situated directly opposite the new
Shoreditch train station and provides a strong visual marker to visitors
entering the district. Thus the
architecture strives to surpass the immediate constraints of the brief and contribute to the
wider urban setting.
