DAVID ROCKWELL Selected projects


W Hotel Union Square New York, US 2000


That project was a big breakthrough for us. It was our fi rst complete hotel, and was transformative for me.


Gordon Ramsay’s Maze London, UK 2005


Contemporary artists bring a modern twist to the historic interior at W Paris – Opéra.


Rockwell Group Europe were responsible for the design


It’s in a spectacular location and it had a great opening party. I still love going there – I’ve never met Gordon though!


Nobu Restaurants and Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace Selected locations 1994 – present


Our work with Nobu is a very rare gift. It’s a 20 year relationship, and that’s something that as an architect you don’t often get. It’s been a privilege to partner with Nobu and help develop his concept over 20 years.


The set design for the Rocky Horror Show 2000


That was my fi rst Broadway show, and I was lucky enough to not know what you couldn’t do. It was the perfect fi rst show for us and it was a miraculous experience.


The Center for Civil and Human Rights Atlanta, US 2014


We were invited by the theatre director George Wolfe to do this project. George had been brought on board to write and creatively direct the story of the museum. It was a great experience and a chance to create a series of environments that do the best of what documentary fi lms, art installations and memorials do. It morphs between many different forms of storytelling, but they’re all informed by a master storyteller.


Virgin Hotel Chicago, US 2015


People have certain expectations about what a Virgin Hotel might be, and the most interesting thing about this project is that it’s surprising. The check in is surprising, the room product is surprising – we tried to bring something fresh and unexpected to the whole project. ●
