REWRITE: The reception fit out design by Architects Tim Groom Associates and Youth Studio embodies a profound respect and understanding of the differing relationships between the materials / palette. Aluminium, steel, masonry, brickwork, reclaimed and new Oak, marble, soft wool boucle & woven fabrics. The design prioritised authenticity over embellishment and the Truth of Materials ethos from the Bauhaus movement

“Our design philosophy here: authenticity over embellishment. Truth of materials guides every decision—from masonry and brickwork to soft wool fabrics—ensuring texture, detail and integrity in every space.”
