Thomas House
Located
on one of London’s most prestigious addresses, Thomas House is an imposing 7
storey building with a grand, regency styled façade. Once inside the building,
we have contrasted the exterior with an unashamedly minimal and calming
interior, taking inspiration from classical regency proportions and the rich
history of the site itself (once home to master builder Thomas Cubitt’s timber
yards).
Importantly,
the garden square itself (which is both formal and playful) has inspired the
vast, open plan ground floor with spaces for eating, meeting, working and events
for our long-term collaborators, The Office Group.
We revealed the buildings generous ceiling
heights and beautiful concrete ceilings, which we stained to bring warmth and
brightness throughout. Natural materials and plants give a sense of wellbeing
and the building is complete with meditation rooms, library, two garden
terraces with views across the city and caverneous Gym and personal training
space in the basement.
