Kettner’s Townhouse
SODA
studio and Soho House Design have expanded and remodelled the original Soho
House on Greek Street, while simultaneously revitalising the iconic Kettner’s
Restaurant with the addition of a new 33-bedroom boutique hotel above.
The multifaceted project is a mixture of
refurbishment and new-build construction and began with renovating 15 existing
Georgian townhouses (including no less than 11 listed buildings).
The central courtyard area was cleared and a new, two-storey basement was
created with a three-storey, bronze-clad pavilion inserted above - creating
both physical and visual links between the different spaces. The massing of the pavilion was formed to reveal a
series of terraces and lightwells that each relate to their adjacent plots, and
hand-crimped, bronze cladding contrasts with the adjacent materiality of
traditional building methods of the old.
