Room2, Chiswick

Project Orange are the architects for London’s first hometel located in the heart of Chiswick. The building makes reference to the classic loft apartment warehouse conversion where a simple exterior serves as a foil to a rich and individual interior. Low-rise simple brickwork mixed with classic steel windows are a simple typology in traditional mixed contexts as found in the immediate neighbourhood of Chiswick High Road and Windmill Road.The 86 crafted rooms offer convenience and luxury each with a kitchenette and access to the cafe and restaurant. This is the world’s first whole life net zero hometel, meaning that all the carbon emissions from conception through to end-of-life have been reduced and rebalanced to zero. room2 Chiswick is 89% more efficient than your average hotel, so when you choose us you are making the right decision for the planet. A heat pump under the building provides hot water while the solar panels meet 5% of energy demand and the roof is covered in greenery to boost biodiversity.  Guests are accompanied by 75,000 bees living on the roof, supporting biodiversity in the area, and in the process making unique, local honey. The interior design renders show the initial copncept and they were completed by House of Dre.
