GBK Earls Court

Description

With its funky and exciting scheme, it's no surprise that Gourmet Burger Kitchen Earls Court was shortlisted for a Restaurant and Bar Design Award 14/15 in the 'Multiple Restaurant' category. Solus were delighted to work alongside moreno:masey architecture to supply funky hexagon tiles to this modern project.

Tiles Used

Hexagon format tiles from the delightful Program range were used.

Outcome

Stuart Child, Senior Architect at moreno:masey Architecture, said of the project: “The restaurant is located on a busy street corner in Earls Court so we wanted to ensure the interior design was of such appeal that passers-by would be enticed into the restaurant.

“To achieve this, we opened up the views into the kitchen and linked two previously separate dining areas into a single space, maximising the available floor space. A focal point of this design was the visual linkage from the bar to the kitchen fronts, which was realised through the use of hexagon shaped floor and wall tiles from the versatile Program range. The bold and angular lines offered by the hexagonal shape, combined with mixing and matching different coloured tiles together, allowed us to create a modern and energetic central aesthetic that flowed throughout the entire restaurant.

“The specialist technical staff at Solus Ceramics recommended the use of the Program range, not only as it offers a broad spectrum of colour options and bespoke shapes that help elevate previously plain painted surfaces, but also a robust and slip resistant finish, that is absolutely essential in heavy traffic areas such as restaurants.”
