Opening in spring 2023, Ladbroke Hall is a new London space for design and creativity led by Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Presented as ‘a new stage for creativity’, the location will become an immersive destination for contemporary art, design, culture and food, serving as the gallery’s London flagship and including a restaurant, photographic studios, a hidden garden and an events space.
Four years in the making, the new location will open inside a 1903 Grade II-listed building, originally built as the headquarters of the Sunbeam Talbot Motor Company, restored with the help of British-Ghanaian architect David Adjaye and contributions from friends of the gallery including Ingrid Donat, Vincenzo De Cotiis, Nacho Carbonell, Robert Stadler and Michèle Lamy and Rick Owens among others.
Ladbroke Hall is an opportunity for gallery founders Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail to branch out of the traditional gallery model into a new concept for displaying, creating and experiencing art and design.
At over 43,000 sq ft, Ladbroke Hall ‘offers the scale to build a dynamic art ecosystem’, an announcement from the gallery explains. A space for the gallery’s friends and collaborators, the new building will also allow Le Gaillard and Lombrail to get involved with the local community through special engagement projects.
The restaurant has been entrusted to chef Emanuele Pollini, and will be designed by De Cotiis with a site-specific artwork by Christopher Le Brun. Elsewhere, Lamy and Owens were given free rein to create Lamyland, a patron bar and lounge that will offer an immersive experience into their creative world.
Among the features announced so far are a private room by Donat and terrace by Stadler, with a 12,500 sq ft hidden garden landscaped by Luciano Giubbilei and a subterranean gallery and wine cellar by architect Nicolas Schuybroek.
The revolutionary arts destination will open in spring 2023, with exhibitions by David Adjaye and José Zanine Caldas.
