The design involved removing structural walls and columns as well as supporting various existing areas in order to open up the restaurant, make better use of the space and remove the barriers in place restricting customer flow and service efficiency. As the site is a listed building we worked with our Planning consultants to submit a plan which would show we were looking to improve the use of the building rather than detract from its current state. It was important that we collaborated closely with the Client, designer and contractor day- to-day as new challenges arose we opened up walls and beams to find that things weren't quite as imagined, and solutions were required immediately to prevent work from stopping and avoiding unnecessary costs.
