Case Study

O2 Intercontinental Hotel

Our Brief

On behalf of Grove Developments, Bayanix won full design delivery of the Intercontinental Hotel for the construction division of the Arora Group in London’s bustling Greenwich Peninsula, adjacent to The O2. The project required design, planning and conceptual drawings, and an exceptionally tasteful and durable finish. Due to pressing time constraints, a fast-track programme is sought for the front of house fit out. Material specification and selection must meet the budget and deadline.
