IMAGES OF THE FLY TOWER MATERIALS

EXISTING IMAGES OF FLY TOWER EQUIPMENT

The fly tower will be restored and brought back to life within the hotel. Original scenographic equipment will be retained for visitors to view.

MATERIALSREFURBISHMENT TO KOKO

The principal façade will be redecorated to match its original appearance. The doors and windows will be stripped back or replaced to match the original architect’s drawings.

THE HOPE & ANCHOR PUB

Careful repair work will be undertaken to the elevations. Existing materials such as glazed brick and ceramic frieze will be retained. New work will be carried out with reclaimed London stock brick, render, slate and reconstituted stone to complement the existing streetscape.

65 BAYHAM PLACE AND 1 BAYHAM STREET

The new hotel elevations will be stepped back from street level. The corner building is expressed in red brick, set on a base of blue engineering bricks. The window openings are large and the windows have steel frames.

ROOFTOP LOBBY

This is a largely glazed structure. It is carefully detailed and scaled with steel doors and windows using crittal sections and a decorative overhanging eaves detail. The lobby will sit comfortably above the 19th Century theatre and the adjoining dome.

The new elevations to Bayham Place are organised within an exposed steel frame. Steel windows provide light to the living areas and the panels are detailed in green glazed brick panels.
