The May Fair Hotel

This project is an extension to an established hotel in Westminster, London. It addresses four key elements of the building; the streetscape, the ground floor entrance space, the courtyard and the overall façade. The proposal aims to achieve a clear and unified facade concept throughout the street level elevation, through the addition of a ground level canopy and a reconfigured pedestrian zone. As well as a defining an iconic image within the streetscape externally, within the central courtyard, a new volume responds to the constraints of the space through use of a directional façade system, allowing views and daylight without compromising guest privacy.
