O Deseño

Sobre Maison Francois Primary Function: Restaurante

Maison Francois é un restaurante de 500 metros cadrados, creado no interior dunha estrutura de formigón espido. O teito artesoado está feito de material fónico pintado en imitación de cemento para combinar co chan de formigón pulido. Os bancos curvos de nogueira con paneis superiores de vidro de privacidade están tapizados en liño crema, e as cortinas de liño crema de chan a teito contrastan co estuco de terracota e os arcos de espello. A carpintería é de nogueira e caoba, con traballos metálicos de latón e níquel patinados. A illa central de servizo forma o punto focal da sala e conecta a cociña co espazo do comedor.

Propiedades Únicas: Initially, the concrete shell was taken as the starting point, creating a Brutalist ceiling coffering and laying down a polished concrete floor. Once the framework was established, ensuing elements were designed to create that elusive warmth and intimacy. Curved walnut banquettes with privacy glass uppers are upholstered in a resistant cream linen that are tactile and inviting. They correspond with floor-to-ceiling cream linen curtains that offset the grandeur of the imposing terracotta stucco and mirror arches.
Dimensións e Embalaxe: 500 square metres floor space
Etiquetas: Restaurant, Brasserie, London
Tecnoloxía de Produción: The coffered ceiling was realised in phonic material and painted in faux-cement to match the polished concrete floor. Joinery is in walnut and mahogany, with patinated brass and nickel metalwork. Upholstery and drapery is in cream linen.
Reto de Deseño: The main challenge was the space that was inherited from the landlord. A far cry from the warm and welcoming environment desired by the client, it was a cavernous concrete shell with no discernible features of interest. The façade offered little more by way of inspiration, being part of a somewhat generic new build. It was therefore necessary to think carefully about how the large volume could be animated, and how to create visibility from the street.
Investigación: Much of the research that went into this project had been conducted over several years, working on restoring and re-designing historic brasseries in France. Everything that was learned by the studio during this period was applied to the project, but this knowledge was infused with more contemporary reference points such as Postmodernism and Brutalism in order to evolve the genre.
Inspiración: Rather than taking the more tried and tested route of looking to the Art Deco period for inspiration, the design looked at successful residential conversions of Brutalist spaces, such as Ricardo Bofill’s, La Fabrica. What interested the team was how the designers managed to create a sense of intimacy and warmth despite their imposing concrete surrounds. The solution was to find the right dosage of these ideas, within a more traditional brasserie framework.
Duración do Proxecto: The project started in September 2019 and opened in September 2020
Fluxo de Operacións: Bringing the kitchen into direct conversation with the room was key to creating a vibrant atmosphere, and so the central island pass became the focal point of the room. It sits underneath a monumental Rado inspired clock flanked by a lambs-tongue mahogany and bevelled mirror canopy that recalls the windows of the Ismaili Centre. Metals range from patinated nickel to burnished brass, all heavy on texture and designed to warm up the space.
