The Springs Hotel, Wallingford

Working alongside Corstorphine & Wright, LCI were thrilled to be the winning pitch designers of the redevelopment of The Belgrade Theatre Cafe & Bar. 

Spanning across two floors, connected by a stunning feature staircase with sponsored treads, the design encompassed many elements- reflecting the Mid-century heritage of the building, complimenting and enhancing the listed ceiling that came from Belgrade in Serbia, providing a welcoming and inclusive space for all clientele, whilst making the most of the views across Coventry. 

Joanna Reid, Executive Director, The Belgrade says:

"The transformation of the Belgrade's café and Nineteen 58 bar has been beautifully executed by Lazzeri Creative Interiors just in time for our year as 2021 City of Culture. Harriet has found the perfect balance of style that reflects our historic 1950s origins whilst offering a creative and modern space for the many different types of audiences who make the Belgrade their home from home or a space to meet and work or relax." 

Sitting on the opposite side of the Belgrade Plaza to the Belgrade Theatre (another recently completed project) the Telegraph Hotel is steeped in Mid-century history and artefacts from its printing press days.

A full refurbishment of the building included the Reception, Bar & Lounge, Restaurant, Events Space, Terrace Bar and newspaper themed Male & Female Toilets.

Many original features and items were able to be restored and reused, giving the space a quirky but luxurious feeling with an authentic M-d-century vibe.

Stratford-upon-Avon Lodge Retreat & Stratford Armouries was a challenging project for LCI, but one that we relished working on. Creating a reception space for Darwin Escapes Lodge Retreat guests out of part of the existing museum space, whilst retaining and modernising the remaining museum area.

The theme was an eclectic mix of Stratford's local sites and history, Shakespeare inspiration, and ode to Churchill and all things "Arms & Armoury inspired" with an industrial barn twist. 

Chunky barn style cladding covers most of the walls, complimented by the bold back-drop wall mural and finished off with that amazing book screen that is a real talking point amongst guests.

Rivendale Bistro & Bar sits in the beautiful setting of the Peak District, as part of Darwin Escape's luxury lodge retreat.

With floor to ceiling windows showcasing the breathtaking views across the countryside, the interior colour and finishes palette takes inspiration from the local flora and fauna. 

Rustic timbers and limestone clad walls compliment feature wallpapers, bespoke copper lighting and a statement planted screen.

The toilets are a highlight in themselves with a nod to the nearby Tissington Trail, a disused train station turned into a cycle path.
