Ilona Rose House Level 8 Completion
22 July 2022
The 8th Floor of Ilona Rose House completed today. Following the completion of the base build of Ilona Rose House, Soho Estates commissioned the fit out of the top floor of the building, level 8, to be their new offices.
The client brief was to create a dynamic and flexible workspace that encouraged movement and interaction. A space that captures the spirit of Soho - vibrant, colourful, with character - encouraging personal inventiveness and creativity.
The scheme was undertaken as traditional contract working with Faith Dean as the contractor, Matt architecture as the architect and Paula Leon as the interior designer.
On Monday 6th January 2025 DML Founder Kevin McGovern assumed the role of Chairman of DML. Rory McGovern has been promoted to the role of Chief Executive. Rory will now lead the executive team made up of Matthew Dymott, Rachel Warren and Nilisha Patel.
Commenting on this change, Kevin McGovern said “Having founded DML 20 years ago it is now time to step away from day to day operational control and support the team in moving forwards. It is a good time for DML in commencing 2025 with a number of prestigious projects across several sectors of the market. I am sure the business will continue to grow and prosper.”
