Our brief was to reconfigure the existing hotel layout to maximise revenue and minimise costs whilst adhering to a strict heritage framework. The resulting design involved the re-invention of a dilapidated boiler room into a restaurant and small function centre; the creation of a market pavilion and architectural lighting to highlight the existing heritage facade.

 

The boiler house focused on simple and elegant additions that maintain the existing industrial aesthetic. The large open pavilion was designed to sit on the edge of the existing main building with an elegant verandah to connect the new to the old.
