Conceptualise

Located in Brindley Place, this new CAU restaurant was fit out within the ground floor an office building.

CTC were appointed to Project and Cost Manage, Design in collaboration with Conceptualise, provide professional Building Surveying advice and Procure all furniture, fixtures and fittings.  CTC were involved from liaison with the property acquisition agent at pre-acquisition stage, reviewing landlord’s technical information, agreeing the demises and monitoring the developers progress.

The interior layout and design was a challenge due to large windows on one side of the restaurant facing the office building reception.This had a large impact on the control of the lighting into the space to create an atmosphere in the restaurant in the evenings when the office reception was still lit.  To mitigate this, mirror and sky wallpaper louvres were designed to reflect the warmer, softer light in the restaurant and restrict the bright office lighting coming into the dining area.
