Robert Angell Design International The term ‘American Bar’ refers to a bar serving mixed or ‘American’ style drinks, more commonly known as cocktails. As transatlantic travel became more popular in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, many American Bars opened throughout London. The American Bar at The Savoy is the longest surviving of these bars and one of the most iconic cocktail bars in the world. The design brief was not to lose the heritage of the bar and to bring it gently forwards into the 21st Century, by giving it a full make over yet create a timeless establishment. All of the furniture and seating was redesigned. New wall finishes and decoration throughout epitomizes both the 1930’s and what the American bar stands for. READ THE FULL STORY...

Mercurio Design Lab This is one of two adjacent bungalows designed for the same client who had the idea of building a pair of villas with similar style yet each stands out with it’s own character. Mistral comes from a period when Massimo was playing with the idea of designing a building with some affiliation to other objects. The driving idea was to develop a form which conjured up the image of a powerful boat driving through the water. Named after the seasonal strong, north-westerly wind that blows across the Mediterranean, Mistral is like a sleek yacht. Painted in all white with a metallic tinge, Mistral has a powerful solidity to it. READ THE FULL STORY...

Design Practice by UBER The brief was to transform a simple garage space into an entertainment leisure area and show stopping presentation for the owner’s supercar. The lighting had to be fully controlled and customisable as well as highlighting spectacular features whilst creating a moody overall ambience. This was achieved using many different elements. The main attraction being to highlight the supercar within a rotating glass podium. Smoky quartz was used as the key tie-in element and backlit within the full spirit wall in the games room, the pool cue rack and the floor in the wine cellar. The semi-precious circle over the car posed a conundrum for UBER as, weighing over a ton in weight, meant the team had to use high resolution photography of the exact quartz to realise the concept design.

The hotel has a total of 160 rooms ranging between standard studios and two room apartments. READ MORE...
