The Coal Shed
London | Restaurant Interior Design
Following the success of The Coal Shed and its sister restaurant The Salt Room, we were delighted to help bring the award-winning concept to the iconic riverside destination of One Tower Bridge.
Our brief was to tailor the existing design to suit its new London locality, ensuring that the scheme would appeal to residents and city workers within the area. We worked closely with Raz to create a luxurious and elevated environment, where diners can immerse themselves into the culinary delights of – ‘Meat, Fish and Fire’.
Design Details
On arrival guests are greeted into a warm and atmospheric bar area decorated with soft gantry lighting, aged brass screens and polished chevron flooring. An array of social seating is fixed around the bar, helping to set the overall comfort level and ambience of the space.
In the main restaurant, our designers utilised a rich and masculine material palette including green marble, burnt timber and aged bronze; injecting layers of contrast and texture into the space. A prominent feature is the open kitchen pass set at the back of dining area, which showcases the specialist charcoal cooking that The Coal Shed is famed for.
Design Outcome
‘The Coal Shed needs to look good and, despite its glass box setting, it has achieved this with some smart thinking from Brighton based DesignLSM. The design company has almost dropped a fully enclosed restaurant into the space so that while it benefits from the huge glass windows and height, the two-storey site has a cosy and intimate feel, and a vintage aesthetic that doesn’t feel out of place’.
Restaurant Magazine
‘Despite being in a glass box, the clever people at DesignLSM have created a dining space that feels cosy and intimate thanks to wooden flooring and panelling, vintage mirrors and ribbed glass. Never has the word shed been so inappropriate’.
