The development will provide Alvaston Hall hotel with an additional 113 guest rooms, an extended dining and cabaret room, and a new cafe/ bar area. The new buildings will rationalise the relationship between the existing buildings on site, and enhance the connections with the landscape. The new bedroom accommodation is a mixture of two and three storeys, which step down the contours of the site, reducing the mass of the building and minimising the impact on the setting of the Main House. The extended Dining and Cabaret provides the link between the existing Main House, which is opened up as the central focus of the site, and the new bedroom wing, with the new cafe/ bar being located to the south of the main house. The dining and cabaret room, and the cafe/ bar overlook the landscaping to the west, and benefit from access to external terraces from which guests can enjoy the late day sun. The appearance of the new buildings respond to the existing buildings on site, drawing from the key features, rather than trying to replicate them. The use of cedar shingles draws inspiration from the existing clock tower, yet rather than being used to accentuate the detail, on the new buildings it is used extensively, to create a sustainable finish, with a warm and natural feel, reminiscent of a country club, and perfectly situated in its natural and wooded surroundings. Rendered panels and gabled roofs, both of which are key features of the main house, have been used to break down the mass of the new buildings.
