Answering a brief calling for a generous space for people to socialise when hosting pop-up dinners, our studio set out to create a sequence of interconnected spaces that enhance the dining event.

The architecture places emphasis on the user's experience of the space. Natural light, high ceilings and lighter tones of materiality in the kitchen enhance the ritual of preparation and express hygiene while the lower ceiling and darker tonality of the dining create a more atmospheric space for eating.

The scheme uses materiality to support and elevate the architectural language, with only a few understated but highly crafted elements.

This project has been longlisted in the residential rebirth project category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
