Forming part of The Grand Hotel redevelopment, we were appointed to refurbish the Imperial and Whitehall Chambers on Colmore Row. We worked closely with the client, principal Architects for the development, Berman Guedes Stretton and other consultants on the redevelopment. The brief was to create modern office facilities that respected the traditional fabric of the building. The Grand Hotel, shops and offices comprise five buildings, interlinked internally but reflected externally as distinctly

separate buildings. Built between 1877 and 1895, the building is Grade II* listed. Since it opened in 1879 the hotel has had a chequered history, culminating in its closure in 2002. Original signage uncovered during the strip-out provided a fascinating glimpse into the history of the building and its former occupants.
