Seaham Hall Hotel
Project Details
This project required the refurbishment, restoration and extension of a derelict Grade II Listed hall into a luxury hotel comprising 17 suites with restaurant, function rooms and conference facilities. The building had suffered from extensive water damage and wet/dry rot – careful planning was required to replace the floor structures and treat walls with minimal intrusion to the original structure.
In the restaurant and function areas the large original single glazed sliding sashes were retained and refurbished. The design reused the existing structure as far as possible which resulted in every suite being different in size and shape, apart from six in the new extension. The biggest challenge was installing modern services and air conditioning into the structure - ceilings had to be lowered on the ground floor to allow the installation of ductwork. Where this was necessary we took mouldings of the existing cornices and these were fully replaced at the new ceiling height.
