We sought to bring out the best of the old and new and installed a new curved wooden staircase with a wrought iron handrail, as well as a new glass-topped bar.
To the rear of the building we designed a timber barrel-vaulted conservatory, which was set in a landscaped garden and floodlit at night.
Our work on this project required the modernisation of a Grade II listed building in the heart of Oxford so that it could reopen as a three-storey venue incorporating a members’ bar on the top floor, a restaurant on the first floor and a champagne bar on the ground floor.
The original oak panelling and floors were retained wherever possible and specialists restored the original wall tapestries.
