Party Cafe

Extensive remodelling of and extension to existing steading buildings, creating a new cafe and restaurant. The extension is barely visible from the approach to the North, using a palate of corrugated galvanised steel, larch cladding boards and stone to compliment the existing steading building.

Contrastingly the South elevation is entirely made up of mirrored glass roof and wall panels, with frameless "mirrorview" doors which reflect back both the lush parkland setting and the artworks on display on the landscaped lawn in front of the cafe terrace. Challenges included detailing the mirrored glazing to have no visible fixings, a hidden gutter system and careful detailing of all of the junctions between existing and new.
