Dawnvale Complete Baffito's Fit Out
Interior Fit out Specialists Dawnvale were appointed as main contractor to a new bar and pizzeria chain making its debut in Warrington. The designers R2 Architecture behind such fabled Liverpool drinking holes as Alma de Cuba, Baby Cream and Panaromic have applied their skills to the interior scheme in conjunction with Dawnvale’s Projects Team.
An early visit in November to the North West Design Centre with Baffitos Managing Director, proved invaluable to enable a fast track programme to be planned for a pre-xmas commencement date.
Baffitos 140 cover restaurant is spread over 1.100 sq ft, the centre stage of the restaurant is the traditional stone hearth oven around which the theatre kitchen encompasses the dining space.Dawnvale commented, "We are thrilled to have been so heavily involved from early discussions through the opening of this exciting new concept. This project has been passionately managed throughout all stages to ensure no detail is missed."
The restaurant is divided into piazza, Trattoria, garden and cafe.
The piazza area juxtaposes farmhouse-style furniture with zesty bright colours, laid out on a checkerboard vintage tiled floor. The large hand-drawn illustrations on the walls map out the Baffito's brand story, whilst referencing the striking inner city graffiti found in Naples.
The cafe, with its caged light-bulbs, customised chairs and olive leather booths, is the most informal area, where the clientele can relax with a cappuccino, away from the hustle and bustle of the main restaurant.
The communal seating in the trattoria encourages shared dining, on bench style furniture which sits on a quartz terrazzo floor that glistens under the subtle lighting system, echoing large Italian family dining.
A distressed steel letterbox bar, flanked with vintage high stools allows diners to eat directly at the open kitchen, with a perfect view of the flames from the magnificent stone hearth oven.
The romantic indoor garden sees antique oak booth seating framed with a bespoke designed steel pergola dressed with potted floral displays and trailing ivy.
Dawnvale’s multi disciplined teams provided a full scope of works from taking over the redundant shell at days prior to Xmas, the in-house technical design team then worked closely with R2 to provide the bespoke designed bar and commercial theatre kitchens. Dawnvales in house production team and furniture division designed and manufactured products to complete the bespoke interior fixtures and fittings, including sound and specialist lighting.
"Director of R2 Architecture Richard Eastwood said 'we have worked with Dawnvale previously on jobs such as Panoramic, but it was great to work on a complete turnkey job with them. The job felt truly collaborative with a lot of input from their specialist departments. They were proactive and positive throughout the job, providing an abundance of support and commitment every step along the way; I know the client was exceptionally happy with the final scheme."
