Robson Warren Architects has completed the restoration of 93 Mortimer Street, a grade II listed building in London’s West End.

The 10,000-square-foot project is part of The Langham Estate’s broader £50 million investment in the preservation of heritage buildings across its estate.

The building was originally designed in a Neo-Greek style by architects W and E Hunt between 1906 and 1910.

Robson Warren Architects focused on maintaining the building’s original aesthetic while incorporating modern sustainability features, achieving an EPC rating of ‘B’. Materials were sourced that matched the original fabric, with specialist craftsmen employed from across the UK and Europe.

One of the key elements of the renovation is the former ballroom, which has been fitted with a replica of the original roof featuring six domed ceiling windows. This space can be hired for exhibitions and events.
