ISG has commenced work on an £11.5 million project to create a luxury private members’ club, with rooms, in two historic Grade-II Listed buildings in Devonshire Square, London. This is the company’s second recent venture in the sector after securing a scheme to convert the former West End branch of Hambros Bank into an exclusive private members’ wine club, called 67 Pall Mall.

The project entails the redevelopment of an 18^th century former East India Company warehouse and adjacent residential building in the Devonshire Square Estate. SUSD, along with Brian Clivaz, will be the developer and architect responsible for the 58,000ft² space. Interiors will be designed by the renowned specialist March & White, and EC Harris will be cost consultant.

As well as 68 bedrooms, the fit out includes the creation of a club lounge, bar areas, brasserie garden room and other dining facilities. The club will also feature a library, screening room, private meeting and dining rooms, gymnasium and spa. A new glazed bridge will link the two buildings, and ISG will build a winter garden extension of approximately 1,000ft² to the rear of the six-storey townhouse. The fixtures and fittings will be sourced from across the globe, and bespoke design finishes will include the installation of hardwood parquet flooring, stone, marble and hand-painted Italian tiles.

Peter Kilby, divisional managing director for ISG’s Hotels and Hospitality division, says: “This project strikes the perfect balance of introducing contemporary and sensitively designed elements to the historic architecture of Devonshire Square, creating an exclusive private members’ club that will prove a real asset to the area. Realising the vision for this technically complex and demanding project sees us once again drawing on our historic building expertise and high-end delivery credentials to ensure a successful outcome.”
