Tiles Used
The Terrazzo range features prominently in restaurant space, complemented beautifully by the Foundry range. Bathrooms feature a colourful combination of Program tiles.
Outcome
The contemporary restaurant was designed by Block 1: Design who worked with Solus to create a standout design throughout the two-storey restaurant.
These include a custom arrangement from the Program range in the bathrooms, as well as featuring floor tiles from the Terrazzo range in the centre of the bakery. In the dining area, walls were brought to life with long and thin 65x200mm gloss tiles from the rustically textured Arcadian range.
The designers also used concrete effect floor tiles from the Foundry range throughout the space, completing the eclectic design with bespoke, water-jet cut zig-zag tiles in the booths.
Justin Melican, Director at Block 1: Design, commented: “Working with Solus allowed us to push our design concepts further and bring the whole project to life, we wanted to create an aesthetic that would be timeless but still traditional and this is exactly what we have embodied with the tiles chosen.
“We very much look forward to working with the team again on future designs.”
