Goodenough Club, Roz Barr

Completed in the summer 2022, Roz Barr Architects refurbished 65 hotel rooms in the Goodenough Club, a 4 Star guest house part of Goodenough College. Situated in five Grade II Listed Georgian town houses on Mecklenburgh Square, the aim of the project was to preserve, enhance and restore the historic qualities of the rooms and to improve their internal layouts while maintaining a contemporary feel. To create a feeling of coherence despite the great variations in room types and sizes a design palette was established and used across the buildings.

Roz Barr Architects is a London based architectural studio dedicated to producing high-quality and inventive designs. Previous work include Bureau and Selfridges Creative Studio. Find out more about Roz Barr Architects and their projects on their website: rozbarr.com.

The wall colour is taken up by the stained joinery elements and combined with a select upholstery and curtain fabric. This combination of beautiful patterned fabric along with the material quality of the felt curtains strongly contribute to the identity of the rooms.

Careful attention of materiality is carried throughout from the black marble hearth and infill to the existing fireplaces to the finish of fittings and carpets.
