The Kitchens

The reception fit out design by Architects Tim Groom Associates and Youth Studio embodies a profound respect and understanding of the differing relationships between the materials / palette. Aluminium, steel, masonry, brickwork, reclaimed and new Oak, marble, soft wool boucle & woven fabrics. The design prioritised authenticity over embellishment and the Truth of Materials ethos from the Bauhaus movement

Overview

The six independent food operators were involved in a competition funded by Michael Ingall CEO and founder with the eventual winner receiving investment and help to develop them from pop up food stall operators to fully fledged restauranteurs. Select Interiors Ltd designed all the bespoke joinery counters and finishes in collaboration with Soo Wilkinson and the Allied London Estates team.

Scope of Works

Dry lining, plastering, electrical, data, lighting, decoration, bespoke workshop and site joinery, resin flooring and bespoke graphics.

Interior Design

Works were completed over an 8-week programme and the space was used for a hit TV series – The Million Pound Menu (with Fred Sirieix hosting) featuring fledgling street food vendors to develop their concepts and entrepreneurial skills with prize money and exposure
