    WELCOME This consultation pack provides you with a chance to view the emerging proposals and give us your thoughts. Please do note the various contact details listed in the final section if you wish to speak to a member of the project team, organise a briefing or provide us with your thoughts on the proposals. This pack presents our aspirations to redevelop One Museum Street (also known as Selkirk House) - a now vacant site on Museum Street and High Holborn following the closure of the Travelodge in 2020 and its adjacent buildings on West Central Street. The proposals include new office space, active ground floor uses and homes. THE TEAM LabTech aspires to curate destination landmarks, flexible working, residential, retail and food & beverage communities. Harnessing unique and independent concepts, we create an experiential lifestyle ethos ensuring we deliver dynamic live/work/stay propositions across the globe. Utilising leading technology, LabTech weaves the latest in digital transformations into the everyday. Our vision is to become a leader in creating eco-systems, moving retail/living and working into a new era. DSDHA (Architecture, Urban Design & Research Studios) has created an internationally acclaimed body of work that is engaged in bringing new forms of responsive design and sustainability through active design and research to address client’s needs. By adopting a people-centred approach, we deploy our spatial intelligence across a broad range of scales - from infrastructure to intimacy - to produce spatial strategies and designs that tap into each project’s latent potential to foster positive change, in balance with nature and the planet.
