We have recently completed extensive works to the frontage of both Fire Restaurant (the original ‘Supper Room’) and the Round Room conference facility.
Over the years, the approach and frontage to both buildings had become confused through the realignment of entrance railings and the introduction of an entrance ramp and steps. In addition an extension added to the front of the Supper Room in the last century had left the Fire restaurant with a poor connection with both the street and the Lord Mayors garden.
We redesigned the entire site frontage to regularise the garden and Mansion House forecourt, and to re-establish the importance of the approach to the Roundroom. We also reconstructed the extension to the front of the Supper Room, to allow a much more sympathetic relationship with the original structure while also providing a sleek contemporary frontage to street and garden. The potential of the under-utilised lower floor was realised, by creating a new garden room, which will serve as a reception drinks bar to the Fire restaurant.
