St. James’ House, an unloved brutalist office block from the 1970s, has consent to be revitalised to deliver a 156-room aparthotel for international hotel brand, Marriot Residence Inn.

The hotel would facilitate many communal areas, including a bar, gymnasium, lobby, working, dining & lounge areas. Accommodation would be on floors 3-11, with each room containing a double bed, living area, kitchen and en-suite, with sizes ranging from 24-38sqm.

Pre-cast concrete St. James’ House - adjoined to O2 Academy Birmingham - would begin with the partial demolition to floors 3-7, before a new lightweight structure is erected and the building extended up to 11 storeys tall.

The new structure has been designed to be positioned upon isolated springs to prevent noise travelling, in addition to glazing and facade construction to reduce the impact of any noise.

Clad in metallic finished silver aluminium, with powder coating, large windows, bevelled/angular recesses and projections within the pattern, the building frontage features copper cladding to frame the main facade.
