republik bar and restaurant, edinburgh
Existing Building
The existing property for this project was a tired brewery owned bar in Edinburgh. Our client had taken over the lease with the intention of refitting and updating the interior. The brief of the project was to create an interior and brand for a bar and restaurant which would serve contemporary Chinese cuisine.
Design Proposals
archid created an interior and identity for the restaurant which avoids the usual pitfalls of Chinese restaurants. Using a restricted palette of materials and exploiting the high ceilings of the existing building; the new interior provides an airy contemporary dining experience.
