Acerca de Maison Francois Restaurante

Maison Francois es un restaurante de 500 metros cuadrados, creado en el interior de una estructura de hormigón desnudo. El techo artesonado está fabricado con material fonoabsorbente pintado con un falso acabado de cemento para armonizar con el suelo de hormigón pulido. Los bancos curvos de nogal, con paneles superiores de vidrio para mayor privacidad, están tapizados en lino color crema, y las cortinas de lino crema de suelo a techo contrastan con el estuco terracota y los arcos de espejo. La carpintería es de nogal y caoba, con herrajes de latón patinado y níquel. La isla central de pase constituye el punto focal de la sala y vincula la cocina con el espacio del 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.
Dimensiones y Embalaje: 500 square metres floor space
Etiquetas: Restaurant, Brasserie, London
Tecnología de Producción: 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.
Desafío de Diseño: 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 del Proyecto: The project started in September 2019 and opened in September 2020
Flujo de Operación: 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.
