“The one with the neon sign...and a
rotating theatre.”
Walker’s Court
London W1
Client — Soho Estates
Area — 4,650sqm
Budget — £25m
Use — Mixed Use
Status — On–site
This 5,000sqm project
revitalises one of Soho’s seediest alleyways and has restored a globally
recognised icon of Soho, the
neon ‘Raymond Revuebar’ sign, to prominence in the
West End’s night–time panorama. The mixed–use scheme is designed around a new
rotating 150 seat theatre on the site of the once famous Boulevard Theatre — the venue which gave ‘The Comic Strip’ its first home.
The project also includes a new headquarters for Soho Estates above the old Raymond Revuebar (now ‘The Box’ nightclub), as well as a new home for Madame JoJo’s nightclub alongside shops, apartments and a new restaurant.
But there’ll still be a sex shop and a tattoo parlour at the heart of the site.
MATT Architecture led the architectural design of this iconic site through a very complicated planning application process to a successful permission in 2014. The mixed–use scheme is currently being delivered beautifully on site by our former studio partners, Soda, with completion expected early in 2019.
