Blackpitts Hotel

Summary

The architectural language employed for the scheme has been informed by the robust industrial architectural heritage of the immediate area. The hotel building form is articulated as three individual volumes which respond to the geometry of the street.

The hotel rooms have been configured as a stone framed matrix of coloured panels & glazing which gently meanders to the line of Mill Street. This form rises to envelope the retained Tenters Pub to create a dramatic termination of the vista from New Row South.

The top two floors of the hotel block on Mill Street are set back significantly as a light glazed double penthouse. The West end of the hotel is configured to address the entrance to Warrenmount Convent and the proposed pocket park which punctuates this junction.
