Magdalen Chapter House, Exeter, United Kingdom. Architect: Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios LLP, 2012. Detail of library interior w


The project is an amalgam of mini projects including new buildings, extensions, repairs and alterations. It is sought to harness the Edwardian institutional character of the former eye hospital, whilst retaining and adding to the architectural ornament and detail that exists in the entrance lobby, meeting rooms, reception and south lounge. We have created contemporary spaces in the infill courtyard, the existing refurbished restaurant and to the new third floor, where glazed walls to the bedrooms command views out over the Devon countryside. The storage and furniture layouts are specific to each of the 59 bedrooms. The bathrooms are also tailored to each room, whilst still retaining the coherence of the hotel’s identity.
