NEW BUILD/ FIT OUT

Muse Bar & Restaurant, Uppermill, Saddleworth

Client: New Muse Ltd
Contractor: THWG Ltd
Procurement: Traditional 
Completion: Summer 2016
Work Stages Undertaken: RIBA 1 - 7
Role: Architect & Project Manager

Brief: To redevelop and extend the vacated former Indian restaurant premesis adjacent to the existing Muse Cafe on the High Street in Uppermill to produce a vibrant and up-market restaurant and bar in the heart of Saddleworth. Working closely with the client and contractor an elegant and industrial aethestic was developed merging soft timber and rich leather upholstery with exposed red brick and structural steel work. Load bearing internal walls which divided the building into cellular rooms were removed to create an open plan space, and a new stone extension accomodates a long classical bar, with additional office, and WC facilities. The provision of a contemporary glazed terrace room provides a relaxed dining experience throughout the year. In summer the retractable canopy and bi-folding glazed doors seemlessly disappear creating a large al fresco mediterranean style courtyard dining and drinking  experience in the centre of Uppermill.
