Electric House

Electric House - London 2023. In the late 1990s the site was acquired by local property developer, European Estates and architects, Gebler Tooth. Four years of planning followed in which Gebler Tooth developed the plan that would re-establish the commercial viability of the theatre. The critical element was acquiring the shop next door which would provide space for upgraded WCs, air conditioning plant and a restaurant. In 2000 the site was acquired by its current owner, the retail entrepreneur Peter Simon, who at the beginning of his career had traded from a market stall outside. Simon invested £5m in the restoration of the Edwardian façade and interior before leasing the site to Soho House. On 9 June 2012, the building was evacuated due to a fire,[12] and remained closed until it reopened on 3 December 2012. @electriccinemas @sohohouse #bringbackthematchbox
