Occupying the top two floors of the Renzo Piano-designed glass cube at Paddington Square, this project involved delivering a wide range of bespoke joinery and interior features across West London’s highest rooftop destination. Accessed via a private external glass lift, the venue spans levels 17 and 18, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of the city skyline, from the London Eye to the greenery of Hyde Park. Our work helped define the “high-energy” atmosphere of this multi-sensory space, which transitions from day-time business lunches to a late-night lounge with world-class DJs.
Our team was responsible for the intricate interior elements that anchor the venue’s sophisticated character. This scope included custom vanity units, mirrors, TV surrounds, feature wall panelling, and buffet counters, as well as the striking burgundy portals that serve as transitions through the staircase, wine area, cloakroom, and reception. We also fabricated the central island back bar and reception back counter, ensuring consistent quality across the venue’s flow of spaces.
A major highlight of the project was the delivery of statement bar elements. These included a fluted padded leather bar façade upholstered by Peter Alexander, detailed with brushed brass profiles, skirting, and footrail, with a fiddle rail supplied by Andy Thornton Ltd. Another bar featured a bespoke acrylic light box finished in Feuille de Pierre Translucide Prague natural stone veneer supplied by Stoneleaf, overlaid with decorative oak carving from Siam Sawadee.
Additional works included an oak-veneered mirror feature wall incorporating antique glass, bespoke vanity mirrors finished in high-gloss burgundy lacquer, and private dining room sliding door walls. The lounge and reception areas were further enhanced by seating feature wall panelling with Arte Tinto Cinnamon wall coverings from The Arte Group, finished with brushed brass linings. These works were completed in collaboration with Halifax Glass Co. Limited and Sophie Mallebranche, contributing to a project that seamlessly blends Southeast Asian-inspired luxury with London’s modern architectural landscape.
