The Emory featured in SPACE
View Project SW1X 218 hereSPACE - International Hotel Design magazine - have written a six page exposé on the Architecture and Interior design of The Emory, describing it as "an all-suite confection in Belgravia". Rigby and Rigby is behind the interior design of the two penthouses.
The article reads:Like a glorious stack of sumptuous mattresses piled high in the fairy tale of the Princess and the Pea, The Emory has layered floors of unique suites – each created by different studios – to create a knickerbocker glory of the most elegant proportions....There are 61 suites set over nine floors, including a wraparound glass penthouse. Each two floors showcase the creative aesthetic of a different world class designer. United by their exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, the generous interiors offer guests a world of privacy. The designers’ attention to detail include furniture designed exclusively for The Emory and using the fullheight windows to invite the outside in.Rigby & Rigby’s approach to the penthouse design started with the individual natural elements surrounding the hotel. This can be seen in subtle details of the bespoke furnishings throughout the space, which includes a living space and dining room, two bedrooms, private gym and terrace. Soft curves, a reference to yacht design, add to the perception of balance and harmony, inviting a sense of flow that provides a calm atmosphere but also a sense of excitement as a contrast to the geometry of the external architecture. The bespoke carpet and finishes link to the surrounding park views, their interlinking walkways and lakes. The environment is also reflected in the contrasting interior finishes, such as the handpicked veneers, fabrics, silk marbles and fixtures and fittings.
