The second element of MDO’s extensive refurbishment of the Carton House Hotel, the estate’s historic Carriage House has been brought to life as a restaurant, bar, and members’ lounge.

 

Once a service building with a simple robust character and beautifully-proportioned form, the refurbishment strikes a balance between functional needs and a distilling of history. The interior décor has been altered to reflect the centuries-long history of the estate, with deep blues inspired by the main house’s 18th century Chinese Boudoir, and dark forest greens echoing the large mature trees framed by a large window at the end of the space.
