hotel lindrum
1999

The design of Hotel Lindrum
achieves a fine balance
between the retention and
restoration of the historic
Griffith Tea Merchants building,
and the introduction of a
contemporary architectural language.

The brick piers and internal
arched wall niches of the
existing building have been
revealed, providing an ordering
rhythm to the internal spaces.

Within the framework of the
existing structure,
contemporary raw steel and
recycled timber elements
are introduced.

These provide a complex
layering of new and old
creating a rich, textured
environment.
