Created in 2010 by Archer Architects, the concept of the Shoreditch Rooms was to create a 26 room boutique hotel together with day spa facilities.
The venture set out to complement the existing facilities offered by the famous Shoreditch House Members Club in East London. It was built on the remaining vacant plot of the Tea Building/Biscuit Building, situated adjacent to and above the existing entrance to the club.
The plot used was previously occupied by the White Swan pub, which had sat empty and unused for many years falling into a state of disrepair. The design is a contemporary box structure which rises from behind the facade of the old pub, retaining the existing characteristics whilst embracing the challenging composition of the high level additions, clad in corten steel.
The building was shortlisted for several awards, including the Hackney Design Awards and the Wallpaper Magazine Best Business Hotel.
