Manor House Hotel

Huddersfield
The Manor house Lindley is an imposing, opulent and luxury 5 star hotel and wedding venue located in Lindley, Huddersfield. Faye Robinson-Hey was employed to directly assist the client in creating some of the beautiful public spaces which lead to the project wining a prestigious Norther design award for ‘Best Hotel Interior’.

The Brief

CLOCKTOWER BAR

The Clocktower Bar is an opulent cocktail bar and afternoon tea restaurant. Our creative lead Faye Robinson-Hey worked collaboratively with the owner to create an art deco inspired, luxurious bar interior centring around dark moody tones with gold accents and pops of mustard. Full height bronze mirrored panels, feature glass chandeliers, art deco inspired banquette lighting combined with velvets and high-end vinyl and cork wallcoverings were used to create a classy and sumptuous space.

Our sister company Robinson-King also replicated the original decorative coving breathing new life into the venue whilst retaining its original character. Huge sash windows with reproduced window linings were created, deep-set architraves and skirting sitting alongside the bespoke designed wrought iron room dividers giving a practical but visually interesting interior.

CELLAR BAR

The brief for this area was to create a cosy inviting interior with a relaxed cool music vibe, bespoke booth seating, neon sign lights, brick wall slips and the custom-made bar all combine in creating a stylish drinking den hidden below the courtyard above.

WEDDING VENUE

The original Coach House at Manor House, Lindley is still intact and incorporated into the larger venue space which was extended by replicating the original architecture. The spaces are married together with an impressive green oak entrance featuring solid oak doors and stunning stained glass which was manufactured and installed by Robinson King joinery.

Working jointly with the client Sara, the brief for this area was to create a unique and luxurious space which although decadent in its design and finishes also had to be neutral and flexible enough not to impose restrictions on to potential wedding bookings. Careful consideration was given to the flexibility and layout options the space needed to offer. The client was keen to create a space which had an ethereal, aged appearance tying in with the secret garden inspiration used as a starting point for The Lantern Room restaurant housed in the main building. We enhanced bi-folding doors by adding decorative moulding and antique mirrored panels. Bespoke wallpaper designer Diane Hill was commissioned to create hand-painted wallpaper to brief as well as a huge distressed paint effect feature wall. This was further complemented with the creation of a large sprawling faux botanical installation adding to the vintage romance of the venue interior.

THE KITCHEN

The kitchen is a relaxed dining environment which employs a beautiful botanical aesthetic connecting to the darker floral accents of the Lantern room restaurant and the pretty floral notes employed within the wedding venue space. The Kitchen connects to the outside area with pops of emerald green, natural oak and another beautiful faux floral display. Tasselled feature pendant lights hang from the glazed lantern roof and glass pendants paired with encaustic feature tiles give an inviting but informal daytime dining space.
