so we wanted to ensure the interior design was of
such appeal that passers would be enticed into the
restaurant.
Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) carries out regular
refurbishment projects across all restaurants within
their portfolio to ensure the latest design trends
are utilised to offer customers unique and visually
appealing dining spaces. With this in mind, the
decision was made that GBK’s popular Earls Court
restaurant was to be refreshed with an eye-catching
makeover to update the brand image and create space
for additional tables.
“To achieve this, we opened up the views into the
kitchen and linked two previously separate dining
areas into a single space, maximising the available
floor. A focal point of this design was the visual linkage
from the bar to the kitchen fronts, which was realised
through the use of hexagon shaped floor and wall
tiles from Solus Ceramics’ versatile Program range.
The bold and angular lines offered by the hexagonal
shape, combined with mixing and matching different
coloured tiles together, allowed us to create a modern
and energetic central aesthetic that flowed throughout
the entire restaurant.

design practice that has built up a strong working
relationship with GBK over five years to offer
customers fresh and vibrant dining spaces, oversaw

Jo Burley, Area Sales Executive at Solus Ceramics,

of projects and it’s great to collaborate with a team
that sets the bar so high when it comes to restaurant
interior design. moreno:masey always bring new and
