Bergman Interiors has designed spaces that convey elegance and authenticity and bring the London experience inside.
The whimsical aesthetic begins on arrival, where visitors start with a journey through soft-lit interconnecting spaces, created through a focus on materiality, an interplay of finishes, furnishings and unexpected touches.
In the lobby formality is dispensed with and guests have comfortable seating areas to relax in. Inspired by the bustle and liveliness of London’s streets, the design brings elements of the outside in, with trees, botanical themes and lighting crafted like hanging plants, which mesh with rich colours and intricate fabric designs.
Going past the leather chairs and deep red walls in the library to the destination bar, orchid-inspired lights, crafted from glass and brass, ensure a playful way to highlight each space, reflecting onto the cut mirror glass walls all around. Murals and seating fabric draw on a mythical world of flora and fauna in an eclectic and playful manner.
The space has been furnished in a style that joins old and new. In the atmospheric vaulted club bar, an artful mix of modern design sits alongside old masters with a contemporary twist and one-off antique finds. Located nearby is the ‘Spa and Bar’ which promotes zen tranquillity.
The Other House’s signature Club Flats are saturated with bold colours layered with velvets and British tweed and wool. Each flat has fully fitted kitchens, separate living and sleeping areas separated by specially commissioned screens featuring Art Deco, tree and leaf designs.
The corridors, with street names inspired by the local area, tell a story via a connecting spine with wallpapers showing a fantasy world of changing scenery and garden silhouettes interspersed with deep burgundy panelling.
The project committed to sourcing products from verified environmentally friendly manufacturers and supporting local artisans and craftsmanship. All the furniture throughout the Residents’ Club, from the front-of-house to the club flats, is British made.
The commitment of 'The Other House' to re-designing and refurbishing tired historic buildings is of environmental benefit. In aiming to achieve the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ category, the team is implementing sustainable design solutions at all levels using construction materials with a low environmental impact and lifecycle assessments to inform selection. Synthetics and chemicals are avoided and the use of either recycled or recyclable materials is prioritised throughout the property.
