Soho Works — a member portal for booking across "houses."

Acting as a design-team extension reporting to Soho Works' creative director in London, I redesigned the member portal that handles room reservations, events, and member workflow across their global locations.

Problem

Members couldn't easily see what was available across multiple Soho Works locations. Booking varied screen by screen. Filters didn't carry between pages.

What I did

Mapped existing UX flows. Designed a unified timeline for 24-hour availability. Rebuilt booking to scale to equipment + studios. Redesigned the cross-page filter for browser-native consistency.

Outcome

Members got a single source of truth for what was bookable, where, and when. Filters persisted across the journey. Design system aligned to the broader Soho House brand language.

The hard problems.

24-hour availability without crippling page load.

Showing a full day's bookable windows across multiple rooms is bandwidth-heavy and a layout puzzle. The solution paired a chunked-by-hour timeline with virtualized rendering on the frontend — visible windows fully resolved, off-screen blocks stubbed until scrolled into view.

A cross-page filter that respects browser native quirks.

The filter (date/time/location) needed to apply on selection without a Submit click, while behaving correctly across native picker implementations on each browser. The pattern: a single source of truth in localStorage, an in-page filter that hydrates from it, and a debounce-on-change apply.
