47 Great Marlborough Street is a lovingly restored Georgian residence in the heart of Soho, W1. Dating back to 1710, the address is perhaps best known as the former location of the historic London College of Music. Now, this wonderful piece of London heritage has been carefully refurbished to provide best-in-class, modern office accommodation that spans the original 18th century house and its later 20th century extension. Combining an exceptional mix of period features with Soho warehouse style and contemporary design, the building is a unique and characterful place to work.
Peeling back the layers at Great Marlborough Street has revealed the remarkable beauty of a private Georgian property. In a refurbishment inspired by the best of traditional and contemporary craftsmanship, period sash windows as well as fireplaces that have been restored and paired with reinstated cornicing and timber panelling to ensure the comfort and relaxation of feeling at home.
Things are no less arresting in the mid-century addition, where a rich industrial aesthetic has being uncovered, revived and then opened up to the outside world. To blur the lines between inside and out, the entire western elevation is glazed in full-length factory-style windows that optimise natural light, while 4-metre wide sections of bi-folding glass lead out to spacious terraces on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
