Inspiration and design
The design of Citadines Holborn-Covent Garden draws inspiration from the iconic architectural landmarks of the area. The Victorian brickwork of the Holborn Bars has influenced the terracotta tones in the Studio apartments, while the bright blue-green steelwork of the Covent Garden Market contrasts with the beige brickwork, inspiring the tones of the one-bedroom apartments. The arches and ribbed glasswork from the Cuban Embassy are also reflected in the architectural detailing and FFE design throughout the property.
