A Hidden Oasis

Dunstan Den is a unique adaptable multi-use space, offering all day hires, private dinning alongside film screenings and weddings.

The design draws influence from St Dunstan-in-the East, a secluded pocket of green space nestled into the City of London. These picturesque ruins, and now park surround the remains of the 1oth century St Dunstan church. It was these atmospheric qualities that this space aspired to capture, elevating it beyond a typical hotel experience.

creating a multi use space

Despite the whimsical styling of the space, it was crucial that all elements were designed to be hardworking and allow versatility from breakfast dining to daytime and evening functions.

The custom-made tables embody this principle. Made with rustic grained timber and bronzed metal details, they have the ability to be moved to various configurations and plugged into a floor box, providing discreet desktop power when needed.
