Pizzarova - North Street
Concept Design | Visualisations | Detail Drawing Pack
Working alongside Bristol pizza institution Pizzarova on the design for their first restaurant south of the river.
The interior design took the ingredients of the Pizzarova brand language established across their existing sites across Bristol.
The brief was to take the language of Pizzarova, and to create a restaurant with a lived in, neighbourhood feel, that would quickly bed itself in as part of the North Street landscape.
A neighbourhood restaurant with sustainability and community in mind
Care was taken to provide a sustainable fit-out. The timber for the joinery and counters was made using wood from Bristol Wood Recycling project, table tops were offcuts of marble from Bristol Marble, walls were left as exposed painted brick, to save on dry lining and plasterboard, and the floor was left as the original rough exposed concrete. Furniture is all reclaimed, or reused.
The new shop front was one of the biggest transformations of the build. The timber shop front has a warm familiarity, and features downward opening sash windows to creating an open facade in the summer months.
As the build progressed, we uncovered the handpainted dry cleaners sign, which we retained as a ghost sign and celebrated as part of the street scape, with a neon light in the window below signposting Pizzarova.
