THE GREEN ROOM - 34-36 WELLINGTON STREET, LEEDS
MAS Design Consultants Ltd. were appointed to assist with the transformation of 34–36 Wellington Street in the heart of Leeds, bringing two adjoining properties together to create a vibrant mixed-use development centred around The Green Room bar and entertainment venue.
The project involved the refurbishment and adaptation of the existing buildings to provide a combination of hospitality and office accommodation. No. 34 Wellington Street is a listed building, requiring particular consideration to be given to its historic character and architectural features as part of the wider redevelopment.
The completed scheme provides a dynamic city-centre destination, combining a contemporary bar and entertainment venue at ground floor and basement levels with office accommodation across the second and third floors.
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
The design focused on bringing the two adjoining properties together to create a cohesive and functional commercial development, while responding appropriately to the individual character of each building.
The hospitality areas were designed to provide a vibrant environment suited to a busy city-centre venue, with the layout maximising the available floor space and creating a strong connection between the different areas of The Green Room.
Particular care was taken in relation to No. 34 Wellington Street as the listed building, ensuring that the refurbishment and alterations respected its existing architectural character while allowing the building to accommodate its new commercial use.
PLANNING & APPROVALS
MAS Design Consultants Ltd. provided architectural services to support the change of use and refurbishment of the existing properties, including the conversion of the upper floors to provide office accommodation.
The proposals were developed to meet the planning and regulatory requirements associated with the city-centre location and the introduction of a mixed-use commercial development, bringing together hospitality, entertainment and office uses within the existing buildings.
THE RESULT
The project successfully transformed the two adjoining city-centre properties into a vibrant mixed-use development, combining The Green Room bar and entertainment venue with dedicated office accommodation across the second and third floors.
The scheme demonstrates MAS Design Consultants Ltd.'s experience in adapting existing commercial buildings to accommodate modern uses, creating practical and distinctive spaces while responding appropriately to the character and requirements of the existing properties.
