Sea Container

Brody and associates under the creative direction of Tom Dixon  created the interiors for the 359-room Mondrian London hotel, which occupies the south wing of Sea Containers House located between the OXO Tower and Blackfriars bridge on the south bank of the River Thames UK.

Originally designed as a luxury hotel, the building’s brief was never fulfilled and it instead was occupied as office. Among these was a shipping company ‘Sea Container’ from which the building now draws its name.  The project aim was to create a hotel the embodies the elegance of a transatlantic 1920’s liner. The main lobby features a giant, external and internal, copper clad wall inspired by the hull of a ship, running from outside the building  leading guests within the hotel lobby.  Building on the extensive metal finishes already found in the building, a network of brass elements run throughout the hotel, feeding out to every corner, edging each bedroom door and eventually morphing into a cocktail bar on the roof top.
