A 120 bed (11,000 sqm) hotel in the foothills of the Lake District on the grounds of the M-Sport Rally complex.
The design of the M Sport Hotel is inspired by both the local landscape of the Lake District and the motorsport heritage of the site.
The attenuation lake at the front of the hotel spreads into a shallow pool to reflect the building in the same way the lakes reflect the mountains making for a memorable arrival. A snaking racetrack leads the visitor across the lake to the hotel entrance. Internally the triangular form, lined in timber, is evocative of country lodges.
