Convene at 22 Bishopsgate is an award-winning meeting and event space – this is the brand’s first location outside of the US and, to mark its tremendous success one year on, Convene has announced their second London site, at Sancroft in St. Paul’s.

Woods Bagot delivered the interiors for the first ever 25hours Hotel in the Middle East – now a multi-award-winning hotel, the interior design seamlessly blends nomadic and contemporary design, creating a one-of-a-kind destination in Dubai.

Zhenmeihui Zhengzhou is a high end multi-service experience for a beauty enhancement clinic. A ceremonial walk takes clients to the private spaces along the original building façade and through to spa-like service spaces which initiate a calming and entrusting environment.

Woods Bagot Associate Principal, Stefano Tronci, says the space balances creative cutting-edge interiors with sustainable drivers by integrating “a number of exemptional features within its public space, such as a 24/7 open bicycle lane crossing the atrium, and a three-storey-high climbing wall.” 

Woods Bagot New York Principal and Interior Design Leader, Krista Ninivaggi, mentions the attention to detail in the project: “A playful nod was incorporating the mercury dime, a reference to the former Dime Savings Bank. We clad the elevator lobby ceiling in round tiles, resulting in a beautifully intimate space with a textured vaulted ceiling.”

The entire venue is a canvas for artist-in-residence Mikey Freedom, whose work merges the frivolity and indulgence of past with present. More than a backdrop, Freedom’s vivid, curated art is installed on the walls, ceilings and in furniture – there’s hieroglyphic walls, mosaic tiled tables, murals, canvases and sculptures.
