Piercy and Company has revealed that it has been granted planning approval to construct a new hotel in London’s Chalk Farm.
Commissioned by Henigman, the Roundhouse Hotel, named after the live performance venue, is situated near Chalk Farm Underground Station on Regent’s Park Road.
The 19,450 sq ft building intends to provide 59 rooms for single occupancy and short stays. Following the footprint of an existing four-storey building on the corner site, the building’s mass is articulated as two forms measuring parts four and seven storeys.
Stuart Piercy, founding director of Piercy and Company, said: “Located between the listed performance venue and Chalk Farm Underground Station, the building is designed to respect the rich architectural landmarks whilst also relating to the emerging context of the Roundhouse and Camden Goods Yard.
“By redesigning an area of poor public realm that surrounds the publicly-accessible cafe-bar on the ground floor, the building will encourage public use of the hotel’s amenities and contribute to the vitality of the neighbourhood.”
Dean Main, chief executive, Henigman, added: “The Roundhouse Hotel will be a very welcome addition, not just for visitors but also for the local community.
“As a resident of Camden, I am particularly excited to be part of something which I believe will significantly enhance the appeal of this much loved part of London and in doing so will create many new job opportunities.”
