How can you create a sanctuary for calm, among Soho’s vibrant energy.

Film House is a landmark building in the heart of London’s Soho. Working closely with various stakeholders will yield commercial space of the highest quality, in keeping with the building’s vibrant setting.

Having undergone prior reconfiguration and extension, our design merges the historical charm of the surrounding neighbourhood with the integration of a new ‘London Street’ connecting the Wardour Street entrance with the end-of-trip facilities accessed via Sheraton Street.

The design focus became about the use of natural materials, neutral colours and incorporation of biophilic design principles to create a sense of wellness.This is particularly evident in the new reception and shared amenity, crafted for the enjoyment of building users on the rooftop.

Drawing the street into the building and moving away from generic and expansive floorplates, Film House regains its social character.
