Chiswick Clayton Hotel Extension

Following the successful launch of the original hotel for which Project Orange designed the interiors, we were appointed as the architect for a £12m extension to the original property. The present hotel is a conversion of a redundant 1960's office block with the design concept 'West Coast/West London'. The extension provides 85 additional bedrooms and conference and banqueting facilities above extensive basement  car parking.

Replacing low-rise buildings on an industrial estate to the rear of the hotel, the extension also abuts the rear gardens of Victorian houses, the boundary of a neighbouring conservation area. The new extension places a double height function room at basement level along this boundary topped with a fully landscaped roof garden. This minimizes impact on the neighbouring houses and provides an attractive outlook to a  four storey block of bedrooms built along the street line. The extension is fully integrated with the existing hotel at ground floor level where a new reception, lobby and breakfast  room have been created.

The bedroom block is an elegant composition of projecting black brick bays set  against  a white brick spine, all above a fully glazed  street level arcade. This provides copious daylight to the double height concourse serving the conference and banqueting facilities. The monochrome palette of the exterior of the building is carried through into the interior design of the bedrooms which marry black and white finishes with pale oak and signature accent colours in bold graphic print textiles.
