The Oriental Club

It has been a supreme pleasure working with Consarc and I am most grateful for the delivery of an inspired and functional addition to this fine Grade I Listed Building.

We designed this new contemporary extension to the historically important Grade I listed Robert Adam Stratford House in central London, home of the prestigious Oriental Members Club.

This complex extension project replaces a demolished single-storey stable building, infilling a small internal courtyard. It provides the club with much improved and reworked back of house facilities, staff accommodation and public facilities, alongside eight new guest bedrooms.

The sawtooth plan respects the party walls and rights of light to adjacent properties whilst affording each bedroom natural light and long views from full height windows.

This challenging listed building in Westminster became a precedent in creating substantial new space within very complex planning and spatial constraints.
