ARCLINEA FOR THE WHITELEY LONDON
Working in collaboration with Valouran, British architecture firm Foster + Partners undertook a comprehensive regeneration of The Whiteley London. Arclinea’s Convivium was specified for the six-storey building’s 139 kitchens with custom Backstage wardrobes by B&B Italia for the bedrooms.
Originally built in 1911, this distinguished Art Deco wonder is at the heart of London’s rich architectural landscape, featuring an iconic ornate façade and remarkable glass-roofed central atrium. Located in the heart of Queensway, just a stone’s throw from Hyde Park, London’s first department store has undergone significant re imaginings, whilst paying homage to its historical and cultural significance.
The Whiteley is being bought to life by Valouran, with joint venture investment partners London is a joint-venture development between C C Land (Space), offering a rare opportunity to live in an iconic London landmark. Within each of the building’s units, the site’s profound heritage meets Arclinea’s contemporary design vision, with Convivium kitchens featuring bronze PVD with doors in fossil oak wood veneer finish and worktops and splashbacks in Bianca Eclipsia quartzite.
“All 139 apartments are equipped with Arclinea kitchens, most of which are designed with an open-plan layout. Each kitchen is conceived to be both practical and well-organized, while also embodying absolute beauty”.
