Livin Italy

Floor Area: 1800sqft | Location: Granary Wharf, Leeds

Celebrating 10 years in February 2022 and still going strong! With a tight budget but set within a stunning arch under the central station in Leeds’ most beautiful wharf, a design was developed that suited the laid back Italian Food and Architecture of unit.

With such distinct architecture, it was critical that any design worked with the style of building. Reclaimed timber wall cladding has been set against existing concrete floor slabs whilst the brick arch of the upper floor, has been left exposed by forming the toilet block sat proud and clad with reclaimed wine box panels.

An all day operation, the task was to develop a style and layout that could seamlessly move from daytime café deli through to night time bar and restaurant. This has certainly been done and are sure it will be still trading in another 10 years.
