- February 2016

This was a short 4-week project working across the year group, to improve teamwork and share skills. The project was to create a design linked to a restaurant dependant on the choose restaurant brand. I chose Arch Duke which is a cocktail, steak and Jazz bar based in London near Waterloo station. I choose a 1930's Cinema designed by George Coles as the new premises. The cinema is known as the Carlton Cinema and is located in London with a range of Music colleges around, as I believed these would be the types of the customers the Arch Duke would interest. The main theme of the bar is that it will have live music and use the stage to its advantage. It is an atmospheric restaurant with a more chilled vibe.
