Riverside brasserie, Bristol

Riverside brasserie

A former bonded warehouse turned all-day brasserie, its long banquette set against six arched windows and the water beyond.

The brief

  • Interior architecture and seating plan
  • Bespoke banquette and table design
  • Lighting design
  • FF&E procurement

The room is narrow, tall and faces due west. We built the plan around dusk, when the river goes flat grey and the lamps take over.

Marble, dark timber and a single depth of green run the length of the space so the view stays the loudest thing in it.
