Manor House
This luxury hotel exemplifies our seamless integration of architecture and interior design, shaped by the client’s vision for a timeless contemporary ambience.
Located in the historic Portswood Precinct of the V&A Waterfront, the project involved converting an existing office building into four exclusive 5-star hotel suites for Newmark. Our interior design approach builds on this transformation, pairing contemporary finishes with classic detailing to create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming.
A palette of modern luxury materials underpins the interiors, most notably in the bathrooms where white and black marble is complemented by elegant Victorian-style sanitaryware. This dialogue between old and new continues throughout the suites, where crisp, contemporary lines are softened by carefully selected textures, layered lighting and bespoke joinery. The mirror-clad entrance lobby, complete with an English-inspired front door, establishes the tone from the moment guests arrive – a subtle nod to heritage expressed through a contemporary lens.
Across the interiors, comfort and sophistication are balanced with simplicity, ensuring the spaces remain calm, generous and quietly luxurious. The result is a series of suites that honour the character of their historic setting while offering the elevated experience expected of a modern 5-star boutique hotel.
