Carpenters Workshop Gallery Expands Empire with Immersive London Venue
Christened Ladbroke Hall, the newly restored Beaux Arts building encompasses a performance space, rooftop terrace, patron bar, and fine-dining restaurant
Known for its impressive roster of daring design talents, Carpenters Workshop Gallery expands the scope of its cultural programming with an immersive enterprise in London. The newly restored Beaux Arts building has metamorphosed into Ladbroke Hall, a 43,000-square-foot showplace encompassing a performance space called The Studio, a rooftop terrace by Robert Stadler, a patron bar by Michèle Lamy, and Pollini at Ladbroke Hall, a fine-dining restaurant devised by Vincenzo De Cotiis. The Milanese architect incorporated site-specific murals by British painter Christopher Le Brun and a Nacho Carbonell chandelier.
“My role in its design was to interject a fresh dialogue that wouldn’t overshadow but would rather complement and enrich this preexisting narrative,” says De Cotiis, whose exhibition “Archaeology of Consciousness” is on view through January 28, 2024.
