"And you, liar, teller of tales: you trample all the Lord’s commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn the sin into song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song..."
From The Last Temptation of Christ - by Nikos Kaztantzakis, translated by Peter A Bien, 1960


Brief: To create a flagship new generation members club and hotel with live performance and arts venue in the heart of London’s West End.

The creative, cultural and commercial impact of the UK music industry is fast earning its place as one of our major national exports. Those hard working boys and girls need somewhere to work, rest and play. Why not do it all under the same roof? Ivors will seek to do just that, providing a safe house for creative souls everywhere.

Cosmopolitan, liberal, comfortably chic, but not self consciously over designed, Ivors hopes to extend an open and welcoming embrace to one and all by the end of 2009.
