Aiming for "true enlightenment" Birley Manufacturing Limited, one of the UK's leading specialist joinery and metalwork fabricators to the leisure and retail sector, has been busy creating the exciting interior for London's newest chic bar and restaurant - Buddha Bar.
Located near the embankment north of the River Thames under Waterloo Bridge, Buddha Bar promises an exciting mix of contemporary food and stylish interiors, which Sheffield-based Birley has helped manufacture and install as part of circa £400k project.
From the interpretation of the architect's designs, the use of specialist woods and stone, and the accommodation of the bar's characteristic illuminated 'Prayer Wheels', Birley has led the way making the bespoke project work by providing much of the front of house joinery including the many design features of the reception, bar and dining areas. The beautifully crafted and sweeping horseshoe arch is a distinct feature of the restaurant along with the unusual and eye-catching, the majestic staircase and wooden clad pillars and niched reception area, all hand painted by a specialist artist.
Uniquely, with the bar located under Waterloo Bridge, the building has to be waterproof meaning all the fixtures and fittings Birley has installed have had to be fixed to the main structural walls using specialist adhesives to ensure the waterproof integrity of the building was not in danger of being compromised
London's Buddha Bar is the next of a series of exclusive Buddha-themed bars and restaurants that have opened across the globe including Dubai, Beirut, Cairo and Paris, where the concept originated.
As with all retail projects time deadlines have been tight, but all was completed for the grand opening.
