Décor and vibe

Award-winning Martin Hulbert Design, who styled the original interiors for The Grove, has created a luminous new look for The Glasshouse. For starters, it now lives up to its name… extended to feature a vast triple-height glass conservatory framing beautiful garden views, it brings the outside in – true to The Grove’s style. The calm, tranquil space creates a sense of light, even on dark days.

Almost every element has been exclusively designed for The Glasshouse. There’s plenty to delight and surprise. Super-sized bronze and glass kinetic hanging sculptures are designed to echo your flow as you drift and hover around the live food stations and enjoy the riot of colours and aromas. Tables and floors are made from Italian terrazzo and smoked oak… even the décor sounds good enough to eat.
