The goose is getting fat

Who doesn't like Christmas? The hospitality industry certainly does. The festive period sees high levels of guests, diners and, of course, tippers. As we approach The Big Day, we survey the restaurant as project type, identifying an international trend for converted spaces that retain aspects of their original interior-architectural fabric, giving them new resonance. Bon appetit!

Feeding off the Past: new restaurants with a slice of architectural history

Text: Dominic Lutyens

An international trend for new restaurants occupying converted spaces that retain key aspects of their original interior-architectural fabric sees diners dining out on past architectural glory. 

The interior design of Antwerp’s The Jane — a collaboration between Piet Boon and chefs Sergio Herman and Nick Bril — fuses old and new elements. Original flaking paintwork on the ceiling is combined with a 800-kg chandelier by .PSLAB

A subterranean restaurant under a railway station? An eaterie in an old police station?

Surely claustrophobic or chilling rather than gastronomically appealing? Well no, judging by the current boom in hospitality venues occupying formerly institutional or industrial premises. A seminal example is the hotel Malmaison Oxford in an ex-prison in a medieval castle, whose history of incarceration and bedrooms in converted cells scarcely put off punters. But then many find these hangouts irresistibly atmospheric, dramatic, memorable.

Restaurants themed from scratch might feel phoney, artificial, but ones in buildings with a cloak-and-dagger history, say, are attractively authentic — and a gift to architects and designers keen to create a unique, believably atmospheric setting, while, as is often the case, blending it with contemporary elements.

Dishoom occupies the former Western Transit Shed — once a warehouse for goods arriving and departing via rail, road and canal — next to Granary Square, near London’s King’s Cross. It references railway stations in Bombay (now Mumbai), such as the Victoria Terminus and Bombay Central, as well as London’s St Pancras International. Its fittings include antiques sourced by Dishoom’s co-founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar and designers Macaulay Sinclair and a near-replica of the clock at Bombay Central station; photo: John Carey

Dutch designer Piet Boon has transformed the interior of a former military hospital’s chapel in Antwerp, Belgium into high-end, ultra-theatrical restaurant The Jane — billed as ‘fine dining meets rock ‘n’ roll’. Original features include its heavy doors, peeling paint on its soaring ceiling and ceramic-tiled floor. Yet this ecclesiastical framework is given a contemporary, secular twist by a new, massive meteorite-like chandelier by Beirut company .PSLAB and stained-glass windows juxtaposing vanitas symbols (skulls and devils) with pop motifs such as ice-cream cones by Studio Job. Meanwhile, the original altar has been wittily repurposed as the kitchen, masterminded by its arguably god-like chefs.

Architonic Interviews: 2015 Market Developments From the Industry's Perspective

Architonic continuously checks the pulse of the markets. Our team visited the key trade shows and design events this autumn to meet the top design brands. We spoke to nearly 100 industry professionals for a few insights into the latest market developments over the past twelve months, seen from the expert’s point of view. The evaluation shows both clear directions and some surprising results.

Material Tendencies N° 11: Michael Young

Looking for a new journey, Michael Young moved to Hong Kong in 2006 where he was quickly intrigued by the highly evolved engineering skills and manufacturing opportunities. With a spirit of industrial adventure, the British designer likes to explore the facilities of the local factories and pushes its traditional techniques to new limits.

Architonic met Michael Young during the London Design Festival to speak about his passion for pioneering technology.

"If I had to pick a single material, I think it would be injected anodized aluminium foam. It is a process that architects have used before and I’ve been developing it in Asia by creating my own tooling, injecting aluminium with gas, 800 degree Celcius. I think it got plenty potential to keep me excited for three years."
