Kettners Townhouse included the redevelopment and expansion of the original Soho House private member club on Greek Street, whilst simultaneously revitalising the iconic Kettner’s Restaurant with the addition of a new 33-bedroom boutique hotel above.

The multifaceted project was 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 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.

There was extensive façade retention involved which had to be carefully coordinated whilst managing the logistics of the building site within the tight surrounds of a plot in Soho.
