RESTAURANT, MAYFAIR

The Michelin Star Restaurant in Mayfair, London,
run by chef Atul Kochar, wanted to refresh their
image and branding.
During my time spent at Halo Design Interiors, I
met with the clients, understood their brief and
their desire to create big effects with minimal dis-
ruption to their operation.
From researching their brand and also the idea up-
on which their restaurant was based on, I came up
with several concepts for their interiors to make
bold changes. To draw more customers in, I decid-
ed that more drama was required especially in the
ground floor entrance hall.
During my time on this project, I liaised directly
with clients and suppliers, I designed bespoke
items, produced drawings, sourced materials, prod-
ucts, designed signage and branding and quota-
tions. I also organised the purchase, manufacture,
delivery and fitting of many such items.
The clients were also looking to expand their Wine Boutique and Private Cellar as another part of their business. This re-
quired new interior signage, and storage, and also lead to the client looking to revamp their branding and create gift ham-
pers.
Branding is also a large part of their name, and as such the clients wanted a new set of options for gifts and hampers. I
worked on this to produce different branding options and produced samples, and costing.

1 SCHOOL OF FORENSIC
ANATOMY & ART, TOWER HAMLETS
Final Year Project: School of Forensic Anatomy & Art
A specialist school located in London, akin, to CAHID Institute, Edinburgh, providing further education in forensics, pa-
thology, anthropology, forensic art and medical art and illustration. The school focuses on teaching about the body
and gross anatomy through dissection. Drawing on the historic location of one of the Whitechapel Murders in the
site’s viaducts, the forensic block holds its labs to one side, also providing a secret entrance for fresh cadavers through
an arch via Chamber Street. The art block and its north facing top level studios sit opposite, with the DLR tunnel dis-
secting the site between them. Both art and forensic students share the protruding dissection chamber above the
main entrance, as well as all other shared facilities bridging both blocks via a connecting circulation spine. Understand-
ing of anatomy, and anatomical clues is taught to the students in order to understand, recreate, and discover human
identities.

2 FUSE 4 RESTAURANT, SLIGO, IRELAND An urban infill building designed to bring Sligo town into a new epoch. Emphasizing the city’s title
‘Gateway city of the Northwest’, this modern building’s concept and form has evolved from the basis of
this title.
Portal– meaning an entrance or gate to something- promises access to a journey on passing the thresh-
old.
Fusion– meaning the blending of two or more things or ideas– creating warmth, energy, and movement
within.
There is a great history of ancient portals in historic Ireland, and the idea was to create a new portal in-
to a modern multi-cultural Irish dimension, in the gateway city of Sligo. The building draws people in,
picks them up, and radiates them to the new experience within the restaurant. The restaurant fuses
people and food from all corners of the world together in a buzzing ambience above the lifeline street
in Sligo.
FRAGMENTING TOWARDS
FREEDOM
3 PAVILIONS OF EXPRESSION,
REGENTS CANAL
Located along the banks of Regents Canal in North London, a series
of spaces and pavilions are provided for the public to take classes,
practise or perform through a variety of creative means.
All forms of expression can be as therapy, and as such the centre
offers dance, music, literature, art, performance, learning and social
areas.
The path focuses on three stages of fragmentation progressing from
the structured city, to a more dynamic natural free zone within the
park.

Stage one: An arts library based on knowledge and the mind is open to
the public. It is in a rigid grid format with no room for embellishment ,
echoing the mentality of the city working environment.
Stage two: One reaches the music boxes and the outdoor amphithea-
tre. These are still very much of a grid structure but are starting to
break apart.
Stage three: Passing the changing foliage tied into seasons along the
journey to expression, the theatre, dance studios, café and outdoor
rehearsal spaces are seen. The structures are fully fragmented stand-
ing as pavilions of their own .
4 SOUNDSCAPE & SOUND CUBES,
PAVILION OF SOUNDS
Both landscape and pavilion in one,
Walkthrough is based on the rhythms and
sounds of people moving through the park.
In essence capturing the specific sounds of
the park and extruding them into built forms
one can experience– like a soundscape.
The theme was the senses and I chose to
focus on sound and in particular rhythms and
frequency, and how to embody or personify
those sounds.
The landscape and pavilion merge and are all
based on varying stages of experience as one
walks across it. The landscape had risers of
various heights and frequencies meaning
each stair felt different to climb rhythmically.
The pavilion focused mainly on affecting peo-
ples sense of sound by their own presence
within each space.
I created three connected boxes, where in
each one the user would have a very distinct
aural experience.
Box 1: Colourful polycarbonate walls and
metal floor to create and lively, echoing
space
Box 2: Padded triangulated walls and floor
with metal mesh above, stole all sound– cre-
ating a silent, dead space.
Box 3: Connected to box 1 via a metal duct
to enhance the sound- Metal walls and floor
bring to life peoples sounds and rhythms not
of the current occupants themselves but of
those currently in Box 1

A MODERN DAY PLAYFUL PLACE
OF REPOSE FLOATING ABOVE
THE WATER FAERIES
Location: Inverforth Pergola, Hampstead Heath,
North London
Brief:
To make a connection between the 19th Centu-
ry Pergola, its gardens, and the surrounding
forest. Verticality is an important aspect- as
one is to use a stair as a bridge between the
upper level of the pergola, to the garden area,
and also this journey must then continue un-
derground, by taking on a modern day concept
of an ancient Greek Nymphaeum, which will
then break into the forest.
Inverforth House rests loftily on a height over-
looking London. Infill from the Northern Tube
Line construction was used for the grounds of
Inverforth. It was originally built by Lord Lever-
hulme, an English industrialist.
6 STREET SHED, PHOTOGRAPHER’S
STUDIO HOME, LONDON
Client’s brief: a sustainable small dwelling which can act as both work stu-
dio and home, while in London working on his new exhibition. The dwelling
is to make use of recycled and raw materials as much as possible. It is to act
as a kind of refuge with selective interaction with the city through chosen
views.
Adam’s main requirements are: the provision of a darkroom and associated
storage. Space to store skateboards or bike on entering, small kitchen/ din-
ing area, and a loft style bedroom. Also the exterior is not to be treated
with any anti-vandalising agents.
