21STÂ CENTURY DESIGN
OPENSTUDIO ARCHITECTS
The former Westminster Fire Station is in the midst of a
transformation. Development manager Alchemi Group - in
partnership with Far East Orchard Limited, a Singapore-based
property developer - is working to sensitively restore the Grade
II listed Edwardian building into a neighbourhood address. Led
by architecture practice Openstudio, the former Fire Station will,
upon completion in Summer 2019, be home to a destination
restaurant in the old engine bays, and six boutique apartments,
whilst a new build Station House will house a further 11
apartments. Together, the buildings will frame a peaceful
courtyard mastered by James Lee Design - a space where
station engines and horses once resided – to create a tranquil
landscaped enclave exclusive to residents.
