CLIENT’S BRIEF<br />
Inns with Rooms<br />
Young’s Inns with Rooms project started off<br />
with the <strong>Alma</strong> Tavern in Wandsworth.<br />
To establish their new brand Young’s Hotels,<br />
Young’s wanted a flagship development in<br />
London, close to their headquarters.<br />
<strong>The</strong> brief was simple: Create an extension to<br />
the existing <strong>Alma</strong> Tavern with standard and<br />
premium beds, a dining room extension and<br />
a new kitchen that could cater for a 5 star<br />
hotel. In addition the existing pub needed to<br />
be refurbished and upgraded.<br />

Young’s had acquired the neighbouring<br />
disused Metalworks, which together with the<br />
care park of the <strong>Alma</strong> formed the extension<br />
site.<br />

THE PRINCIPLE<br />
Space planning - First Concept<br />
<strong>The</strong> first draft concept saw the development<br />
of 27 rooms.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main entrance to the new hotel part<br />
would be through the courtyard of the former<br />
Metalworks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hotel would then be linked to the pub<br />
with a new dining room extension and<br />
kitchen.<br />

THE PRINCIPLE<br />
Space planning - Site<br />
LOVETTS<br />
PLACE<br />
<strong>The</strong> concept of the courtyard entrance was<br />
kept throughout the design phase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> layout changed slightly, with the<br />
forming of a courtyard to the rear to avoid<br />
any overshadowing and overlooking of<br />
neighbours.<br />
Towards <strong>Alma</strong> Road, a new service yard area<br />
was introduced, serving the hotel extension<br />
and the new kitchen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dining room extension was designed as a<br />
single storey extension to the road front.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Second Floor steps back from the building<br />
line to lessen the impact on the streetscape<br />

terraced houses along <strong>Alma</strong> Road.<br />

THE PRINCIPLE<br />
Design: Facade Treatment<br />
<strong>The</strong> Facade along <strong>Alma</strong> Road re-interpret the<br />
existing terraced buildings in a contemporary<br />
design, following their rhythm but being<br />
clearly modern in design and material.<br />
<strong>The</strong> step back third floor creates the transition<br />
from two to three storeys and emphasises the<br />
focal point of the <strong>Alma</strong> Tavern.<br />
<strong>The</strong> courtyard entrance is designed to reflect<br />
the former Metalworks building in both<br />
facade rhythm as well as material.<br />
