Melcombe Place sits just above the concourse of Marylebone station. Refurbished in 2019 in collaboration with SHED architects, the contemporary Work Space has plenty of spaces for you to retreat to during your working day. With subtle railway references dotted throughout - choose between the corridor ‘carriage booth’, or the recharge room complete with a hanging chair.
Designed in the ‘Wrenaissance’ style of English Baroque and opened in 1899, Marylebone Station is an often-overlooked gem in London’s Victorian railway network. The modest two-story red brick and cream stone building is packed with period details, such as terracotta finishes and Dutch gables.
Working alongside the TOG design team, SHED architects created an interior that connects with the historic building while adding contemporary touches such as focus booths, acoustically treated phone rooms and varied spaces to retreat and recharge.
As well as flexible spaces for more efficient work, Melcombe Place has a range of carefully designed specialist spaces such as the retreat room, secret library and compact fitness studio, to help find some moments of relaxation and clarity, or integrate exercise into a busy working day.
