North Wharf Gardens, Paddington, London
This is a significant 642 room hotel and hybrid aparthotel development which rises to 19 floors over an existing 2-storey basement. The scheme features a 393-bed hotel for Premier Inn, 249 serviced apartments for Staycity and a sixth form college on a restricted site in Paddington, London.
White Ink Architects worked with McAleer & Rushe D&B Contractors to develop the planning approved design by Powell Dobson Architects and deliver a landmark project which, as part of the Paddington Basin Masterplan, will revitalise this unique location.
The façade is designed using three different types of materials – a combination of light and dark limestone and basalt cladding, metal rainscreen cladding acting as a golden feature and glazed masonry elements running vertically.
North Wharf Gardens has been designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent.
