To be able to show the "backstage" of an architecture project, gives an opportunity to the common audience to understand, to question and reflect on imperceptible issues vital on this process and to the Portuguese architects that can identify themselves and relate to this specific theme. event (ended) current design events more info www.any...

 Surf's Up! New Macaulay Sinclair Project Makes Big WavesNottingham-based interior architects and designers Macaulay Sinclair has put their flag firmly in South Coast sand after customers began flocking to one of the UK's most exciting new bar and restaurants - Urban Reef at Boscombe Bay, Dorset.Opened to the public on Thursday May 15th, Lead Designer John Macaulay has successfully blended a destination restaurant, decked external terrace, bar, cafe and deli outlet to deliver a vibrant social hub at the home of Europe's first artificial surf reef. Taking the building's architecture as his starting point, Macaulay has used eye-catching design references and colour palettes from the 1950's including furniture, materials and finishes. "We looked at, and were influenced, by 1950's transport posters, advertisements and seaside resort branding," explained Macaulay. "As a result, on the ground floor, the colours are energetic and snappy, which also echoes the pace of the offering. The design forms are simple, efficient and functional referencing the simplicity and functionality of post-war furniture. We've also referenced post-war Britain's renewed relationship with the seaside by using beach huts and weatherboarding." more Surf's Up!
