Shed Private Members Club London

Shed Private Members Club London

Shed is a private members club in the City of London but beyond the highly lacquered black panelled front door is a calm, contemporary environment distinct from its more traditional counterparts.

Shed occupies the lower two floors of a building formerly the Bank of Havana and has been designed to provide a range of spaces from drawing room, restaurant and bar to a group of ‘Zzed sheds’ complete with leather upholstered day bed for work or rest within the confines of curved, birch plywood screens arranged around a white cruciform wall providing services and lighting. The lower floor of the club provides a mixture of social and private space with a dark green resin floor and mirrored bar giving this part of the club a more theatrical ambience, furnished predominantly with dark leather and chrome finished armchairs. The dining shed is a birch plywood structure formed from interlocking triangular panels echoing the club’s graphic identity and accommodates a club dining table at one end and separate social space at the other. An external wall onto the rear lightwell has been removed and a glazed bay introduced with a reflective glass floor to bring light into the club interior terminating the axis of the new concrete staircase with a strong visual feature. Playing on the many connotations of the term, Shed offers members a retreat from the city environment, to rest, catch up with the news or develop ideas in a unique setting.
