GRADE II LISTED FIRE STATION TRANSFORMED TO CREATE A UNIQUE DINING ENVIRONMENT
Wagamama asked us to develop a restaurant design that would showcase the original features of this former fire station, transforming the space to create a unique dining experience. A clear vision for this space would be essential.
​
The Old Hammersmith Fire Station was originally built in 1914, then decommissioned in 2003. This Grade II Listed building was in a very sorry state when we first visited. Having been used as a pub for several years it had a dark and uninspiring interior.
It was essential that original features remained untouched, so inspection pits, large doors, and even the fireman's poles are integrated into the design. They provide a striking backdrop to the sophisticated yet limited pallet of materials and textures. Crisp finishes and attention to detail add to the stylish environment.
​
We worked closely with the Wagamama team to design a restaurant that would meet the conditions of the building's Grade II listed status and the end result is a warm and inviting restaurant with lots of character.
