The objective is to create a new concept of user immersion that challenges the norm and will redefine the retail experience. Located on Burlington Gardens, it will complement and enhance the already outstanding cultural, retail and culinary experiences of the historically important area. The buildings will be managed by RH London Gallery Limited, who have an international reputation for curating luxury galleries that showcase exquisitely crafted home furnishings in architecturally inspiring spaces. The project combines buildings on Burlington Gardens and Old Burlington Street to create an integrated architectural proposal that celebrates the historic characteristic of the Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings. The development includes a design gallery to showcase RH’s luxury collections with a client-facing interior design service and a seamlessly integrated restaurant experience. As a design team, our holistic philosophy and approach to the project has been to respond sensitively and positively to the historic context with its abundant mix of history, architectural attributes, materials and detailing. The development will open the building to a much wider audience and allow the gallery to form part of the public realm by reactivating the surrounding streetscape and allowing the visitors to flow naturally through the buildings.

In the past decade, RH has re imagined itself to become the leading brand in luxury home furnishings, offering the most comprehensive and compelling collection of furniture, lighting, textiles and decor in the world. A multi-platform design company, their innovative galleries, source books and websites are redefining the retail experience. RH have 69 galleries and 30 outlets throughout the United States and Canada; and publishes RH Interiors, RH Modern, RH Outdoor, RH Beach House, RH Ski House, RH Lighting, RH Rugs, RH Baby & Child and RH Teen source books. Their strategy to expand the RH brand globally and open Design Galleries in a variety of major markets around the world will reinforce London’s existing reputation as a key luxury retail destination. RH are inspired by great architecture and design, they are passionate about curating the best artisans and manufacturers, products and ideas from across the globe. Through the iconic design galleries, the RH Brand is seamlessly integrated with a world class hospitality experience, creating an immersive journey that is far more than a retail store and cannot be replicated online. Opposite Page: RH Chicago, Gallery at the Historic Three arts Club Right: RH Boston, Gallery at the Historic Museum of Natural History RH London | 7 Burlington Gardens, 1 - 2 Old Burlington Street | Design & Access Statement 11 RH - Design Galleries 1.3.1 RH don’t build retail stores, they build inspiring spaces that are a reflection of human design, a study of balance, symmetry and perfect proportions. Design galleries are filled with fresh air and natural light, with garden courtyards and rooftop parks. RH London will reflect a continuation of their quest to revolutionise physical retailing by bringing architecturally inspiring and immersive brand experiences to life. Spaces that blur the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality. Spaces that create emotional, physical connections in a world moving towards social digital connections. Spaces that activate all of the senses, and experiences that cannot be replicated online. This is evident at RH New York, a six-story adaptive reuse of a historic brick building on an iconic corner in the Meatpacking District, with a rooftop restaurant, wine terrace, New York Night art installation by Alison Berger, and an interior design firm; and at RH Yountville, a five- building compound that is an integration of food, wine, art and design in the heart of the Napa Valley that respects and amplifies the local culture. Spaces that are a refuge from technology, serving to elevate humanity and create a sense of harmony in our world. RH London will be a reflection of the latest thinking and best work to date, with a vision of creating the most innovative retail experience, in one of the most important cities in the world. It will be the result of curating the best people, products, ideas, and inspiration, then carefully integrating each, where the whole becomes more valuable than the parts. The brand will move beyond curating and selling products to conceptualising and selling spaces by building an ecosystem – The World of RH – of products, places, services and spaces that elevate and establish the RH brand as a global thought leader, style, and tastemaker.

The first expression of the hospitality experience was unveiled at RH Chicago, The Gallery at the Three Arts Club, a historic building in Chicago’s famed Gold Coast, in 2015. Today, ten of the Design Galleries across the United States and Canada host a fully integrated hospitality experience, featuring ingredient-driven menus accompanied by a curated selection of artisanal wines and craft beers. Following in the footsteps of the acclaimed hospitality experiences in Chicago and New York, the latter hailed by Forbes as “the perfect place to dine”, we now look to bring this innovative concept to London. With great admiration for the building’s history and architecture, the aim is to re-establish this landmark’s relevance by harmoniously incorporating artistic and aspirational home furnishing installations with an integrated hospitality concept unlike anything that exists in retail.

  • 1 Draft Paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança
    Draft paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança-Portugal University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Portugal [email protected] Power, cosmopolitanism and socio-spatial division in the commercial arena in Victorian and Edwardian London The developments of the English Revolution and of the British Empire expedited commerce and transformed the social and cultural status quo of Britain and the world. More specifically in London, the metropolis of the country, in the eighteenth century, there was already a sheer number of retail shops that would set forth an urban world of commerce and consumerism. Magnificent and wide-ranging shops served householders with commodities that mesmerized consumers, giving way to new traditions within the commercial and social fabric of London. Therefore, going shopping during the Victorian Age became mandatory in the middle and upper classes‟ social agendas. Harrods Department store opens in 1864, adding new elements to retailing by providing a sole space with a myriad of different commodities. In 1909, Gordon Selfridge opens Selfridges, transforming the concept of urban commerce by imposing a more cosmopolitan outlook in the commercial arena. Within this context, I intend to focus primarily on two of the largest department stores, Harrods and Selfridges, drawing attention to the way these two spaces were perceived when they first opened to the public and the effect they had in the city of London and in its people. I shall discuss how these department stores rendered space for social inclusion and exclusion, gender and race under the spell of the Victorian ethos, national conservatism and imperialism.

  • Shops Aug 2012
    1 SHOPS Shops Among London’s main attractions are the long streets full of shops, some of which are famous throughout the world. All of those listed here were visited during 2011. Our survey teams found that access to shops has improved considerably in recent years. In particular there are fewer split levels, more accessible toilets, and more BCF. However, few have textphone details on their website and there are still a small number with unexpected split levels. Importantly, attitudes have changed, and staff members are more often understanding of special needs than was the case ten years ago. In this chapter we have concentrated mainly on the Oxford Street/Regent Street area, as well as including famous shops like Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Peter Jones and Fortnum and Mason. We have also included a few shops on Kensington High Street, and around Victoria. We have only visited and described a tiny percentage of London’s shops, so please do not be limited by listings in this section. Nearly all the big shops we have described have accessible toilets. Access is generally good, although the majority of the big stores have central escalators. The lifts are less obvious and may even be slightly difficult to find. Signage is highly variable. Most big department stores have a store guide/listing near the main entrance, or at the bottom of escalators, but these do not normally take account of access issues. A few have printed plans of the layout of each floor (which may be downloadable from their website), but these aren’t always very clear or accurate.

  • Meyer Bergman Shops for More Stores in Queensway
    Share Meyer Bergman shops for more stores in Queensway 7 May 2014 | By Kat Spybey Meyer Bergman has taken a further chunk of retail space on Queensway as it looks to ramp up its exposure to the west London suburb. The fund manager is understood to have agreed a deal to buy a retail parade consisting of 27 shops on Queensway, which front onto its recently acquired Whiteleys Shopping Centre, for around £50m. The assets were bought by Meyer Bergman, in conjunction with Warren Todd, from a private Asian family. The shops, which extend from 114-186 Queensway, comprise around 90,000 sq ft of lettable space and are leased to retailers including Boots, Santander Bank, Specsavers, The Post Office, Superdrug and Patisserie Valerie. It is understood that Meyer Bergman will look to revamp the retail offering across the parade, bringing in higher-end retailers, and could also use the space to accommodate retailers moving out of Whiteleys while the scheme is repositioned. It is thought property investor Johnny Sandelson, working with a Brunei family investor, could take a minority stake in the parade in the future. Sandelson is currently working on a wider revamp of the Queensway retail and leisure offer. Investors are seeking to buy into the Queensway retail market in a bid to capitalise on its rejuvenation after it was hit by the opening of Westfield London and the continued strength of the West End retail district. Property Week revealed in September last year that Meyer Bergman and Warren Todd – who owns a number of properties across Notting Hill and Holland Park – had bought the 300,000 sq ft, grade II-listed Whiteleys Shopping Centre for around £140m.

  • Reimagining Mayfair Open Call RA
    In partnership with the Architects’ Journal Open Call Reimagining Mayfair: London’s next cultural quarter? Introduction The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) and the Architects’ Journal (AJ) are launching an open call for multidisciplinary teams to present new ideas for the area of Mayfair to the north of the RA’s Burlington Gardens building. In recent years the RA has developed detailed plans to restore and reconceive the interior spaces of its Burlington Gardens building, which is currently subject of a major, HLF-supported building project, beginning on-site in mid-2015. With this open call, the RA wishes to extend the focus beyond its walls and foster new ideas for the future of the surrounding area. The Brief We are looking for bold new ideas for reimagining the area of Mayfair directly to the north of the RA’s Burlington Gardens building. The area in focus is bounded by and includes Old Bond Street to the west, Clifford Street to the north, Savile Row to the east and Burlington Gardens to the south. Laid out by Lord Burlington in the 1720s and 1730s, this area has had an enduring association with tailoring, private art galleries and, latterly, luxury shopping. In recent years, it has benefited from the rejuvenation of Regent Street and will be further affected by the impending arrival of the new Crossrail station at Bond Street. Meanwhile, the RA is renovating its Burlington Gardens building with new galleries, learning studio and the reinstatement of a lecture theatre. A ‘link’ bridge will, for the first time, allow public access across the whole RA site.
