Hospitality

⥤ Overview

We worked with Ben Lovett (Mumford & Sons) to create this bar and music venue within the wider Flat Iron Square development. The scheme includes 15,000 sqft of space in 3 interconnecting arches and a new build courtyard block with roof terrace.

⥤ Brief

The music venue provides a 350 capacity space which has been acoustically isolated from the railway viaduct above. The brief was to create spaces which provide both the bands and guests with a premium experience normally associated with much larger venues.

⥤ Challenges

We spent a long time with Ben testing different configurations of space to ensure the optimum flow was achieved between the various spaces. The archway geometry was particularly challenging when creating the mezzanine bar and dressing room spaces. The new build courtyard block has a glazed upper facade which overlooks The Shard.
