MIXED-USE SCHEME REVITALISING A 19TH-CENTURY BUILDING INTO STAND-OUT OFFICE SPACE AND A LEAN-LUXURY HOTEL.
Wonderfully positioned in the heart of Clerkenwell, the 146-bedroom hotel will be operated by Ruby Hotels, whose lean-luxury brand is the perfect match for this creative neighbourhood. The first institutional scale development for Ruby in the UK will provide open-plan front-of-house areas with integrated reception, coffee shop, bar and external courtyards.
In conjunction, the 19th-century Ragged School will be brought back to life and transformed into a prestigious 20,000-square-foot office space. Sympathetically enhancing the building and retaining the characterful charm of the exposed brickwork and oak beams this historically significant building will now offer a unique space for creative businesses in the area.
The scheme also provides affordable housing on site for the local residential community.
