Ilona Rose House is a new-build mixed-use project spread over 13 floors, including 4 below ground. The project is currently on site and includes lots of highly decorative, bespoke, pre-cast concrete façade panels (clipped on to a standard unitised curtain wall system of course!) – for which we’ve printed many of the pre-production moulds ourselves, in Leicester Square.
A quarter of the 4-storey basement is naturally lit - and will be the new home for Warner Brother’s European Postproduction Studios - including a double height, tiered, 60-seat sound editing theatre.
On the upper floors we’ve been able to create over 14,000sqft of south-west facing terraces, the hanging gardens of Soho if you like, which will provide external amenity space for every single level of office.
More than a sixth of the (nearly) 1-acre site is given over to public spaces – which are lined with restaurants, cafes, shops and a nightclub to create a lively and generous new destination within Soho.
