Description
Located in the catacombs of Glasgow Central Station, Alston Bar & Beef is a chic venue that specialises in locally produced Scottish steak and fine, specialist gin. Solus were delighted to work with the team at team at Jestico + Whiles to supply tiles to the floor area of the restaurant and cafe.
Tiles Used
Hexagon shaped tiles from the Program range were used and laid in an intricate diamond formation.
Outcome
The 80-seat destination restaurant designed by the expert team at Jestico + Whiles, occupies a cavernous arched space and was shortlisted in the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards 14/15, in the ‘Restaurant or Bar in a Transport Space’ category.
The design integrates historic original features such as the atmospheric brick archways, while adding contemporary elements like white, veined marble countertops and elegant pendant light fittings. Solus supplied 200m2 of smooth, matt hexagon floor tiles from the Program range, which were used throughout the main seating area.
Black and white tiles were laid to create an intricate and exciting diamond pattern. Upstairs at street level, a cafe area was also fitted with red and white tiles from the same range, in a slightly different style.
The Program range is a practical, colourful and durable series of tiles that includes a huge variety of size options, a wealth of technical and standard finishes, and the flexibility to be used on both walls and floors, independently or to create patterns.
