EPR Architects has triumphantly transformed Britain’s historic Old War Office building into a premier destination, featuring the 120-key Raffles London at The OWO, alongside restaurants and private branded residences. This six-year meticulous restoration project, located in London’s Whitehall district, has turned a formerly impenetrable structure into a beacon of luxury and hospitality.
The Old War Office, a Grade II* listed building, was originally designed to keep the public out, with its imposing columns, rusticated masonry, and corner turrets. In 2015, EPR Architects was commissioned by the Hinduja Group to reincarnate this majestic building, converting it from a fortress into a first-class hospitality and residential destination while preserving its historical essence.
