The Other House has announced the appointment of construction firm Ellmer to turn the site into the second outpost for the residents’ club Covent Garden location.
In its appointment, Ellmer Construction will be joining architects Falconer Chester Hall and interior designers Bergman Design House to deliver The Other House Covent Garden.
The nominated architect and interior design companies have previously worked on The Other House South Kensington, which opened in July 2022.
The landmark property consists of seven separate historic buildings, including a former rectory. The plan will be to create an inner glazed atrium and to add a further three floors, affording guests views across central London.
The Other House Covent Garden will be located near the piazza, offering the brand’s ‘Club Flats’ with public areas comprising a cocktail bar, casual street café, and a rooftop bar with views across the city.
In addition, the private club for residents and members will also offer private bars and a dining area, as well as the wellness and wellbeing retreat The Other Space, which has a vitality pool, a treatment area and hi-tech gym.
Naomi Heaton, CEO and founder of The Other House, said: “We are delighted to have appointed Ellmer as our construction partner for The Other House Covent Garden. They are a natural fit for such a painstaking and ambitious project.
“Our Covent Garden site embodies everything we want to achieve, sensitively restoring a historic space in prime central London and transforming it into something that truly caters for the eco-conscious, global traveller and the local community. It’s thrilling to see construction now underway.”
Michael Byrne, CEO of Ellmer Construction, said: “Ellmer Construction is privileged to have been awarded the construction project of The Other House Covent Garden.
“We are excited to have begun on site and look forward to working collaboratively with the team to ensure successful delivery of this prestigious and innovative project, and thank The Other House for the trust they have put in Ellmer Construction as their construction partner.”
