Exclusive: Inside flagship hospitality development at Silverstone

Bergman Interiors and Twelve Architects have teamed up with Escapade living, led by CEO Will Tindal, to design a new development at the iconic British racetrack, Silverstone. Here’s what we know…

Villas overlooking the Silverstone Racecourse

Award-winning design studio Bergman Interiors has been named the design firm that will bring to life a mixed-use development project at Silverstone in the UK, which will include 60 residences, a club house, wellness spaces, F&B areas and outdoor terraces that overlook the iconic racetrack.

Silverstone has always been a centre of excellence from a racing, technology and engineering perspective. Bergman Interiors, which is led by Interior Designer of the Year Albin Berglund and Brit List Designer Marie Soliman, have told Hotel Designs that they are ‘delighted to be working with Escapade Living’ in creating a peerless hospitality experience. “Escapade Silverstone will enable motorsport lovers to buy residences right on the edge of the circuit,” explains Soliman, Co-Founder of Bergman Design House. “For us, its immersive, bespoke, guest-led offering hails the dawn of something special.”

Who’s who?

The Escapade Living team has combined the talents of Twelve ArchitectsBergman Interiors and project management consultant Tower Eight, MEP led by Applied Energy, with landscape by Illman Young and construction by MY Construction.

Escapade Living aims to redefine experiential travel around the concept of high-performance living, which was founded by experienced development and investment professionals, Will Tindall and Jerome Darker.

Escapade Silverstone received full planning at the end of 2019 and breaks ground in Q1 2021 and is due to complete in May 2022.

Trackside luxury

Designed for high performance living, the clubhouse and facilities include state-of-the-art simulator rooms, briefing rooms, a driver-focused gym, oxygen swimming pool and sauna, restaurant, bar and private dining room.

The residences themselves have cantilevered terraces, allowing spectators to get even closer to the racetrack. Light-filled and with high acoustic specifications, they have underfloor heating, comfort cooling and ensuite bathrooms. When an owner is not staying in their residence, it will form part of the wider accommodation available to guests at Silverstone and offer a healthy net yield.

Escapade Silverstone will enable owners to capitalise on the 1.2 million visitors that the circuit welcomes every year. It is a reimagining of leisure, lifestyle and investing putting capital into something that provides entertainment, enrichment, enjoyment and learning, while also making a return. We look forward to following the projects development.
