The Italian Job is the first pub to bring Italian Craft Beer to Londoners. Utilising this unique selling point we drew inspiration from copper, a material integral to the production of the beer. From the copper top of the counter to the lighting which features exposed conduits and aged copper shades, this raw material gives the pub an industrial look and feel. Exposed brick walls and a reclaimed wooden flooring, alongside a monochrome colour palette add to this effect.
Working with The Italian Job once more on their third venue, Pardini Hall renovated the former Pelican Published House to include a pub, restaurant and cocktail bar, Salotto 900.
Once again, we used copper and patterned tiles, together with the blue and brown colour palette reminiscent of The Italian Job brand. Using colours and materials, we have divided the pub into different function areas while a vibrantly tiled copper counter forms a central focus as you enter the pub.
A bold architectural statement at the heart of new Amsterdam innovation district Cumulus Park in the up-and-coming Zuidoost area, The Traveller is a curvilinear glass pavilion designed by Powerhouse Company and developed by EDGE and G&S Vastgoed, in collaboration with ING.

It houses a restaurant concept from the team behind successful Amsterdam eateries Visaandeschelde and The Roast Room. The restaurant is open all day, offering light refreshments and a full menu of international dishes reflecting the neighborhood’s multicultural identity.

The Shiliupu Dock of Shanghai was a place enriched fully with the Shanghai Bund history. It features numbers of longtangs and traditional Shanghainese Shikumen buildings where one can track down all the historical stories happened in this once prosperous era.

Once a top ten creative hubs in Shanghai, it was renovated in 2018 and is now attracting new restaurants, coffee shops and bars to settle in. MOONCRAFT, among one of them, is launched at this celebrated spot on the South Bund.
In the green neighborhood of Amsterdam east, the warm ‘pincho bar’ La Cervecería, has opened its doors to the public to bring the warm side of Spain to the Dutch capital.
This Spanish-inspired bar has been designed by Studio Modijefsky, which, using a traditionally southern color palette and a lively juxtaposition of modern patterns, created a cozy space for locals to feel on holiday and for southern internationals to feel home. The interior references to typical “cervecerías”: places where Spaniards go to spend their after-work time in the company of colleagues and friends, to enjoy “cañas” and “pinchos” in an informal environment.
Grand Park Hotel Rovinj is a viewpoint for the most beautiful stage on the Adriatic. No matter where he is in the hotel, the guest gets the impression he is staying in a park overlooking Rovinj, St. Euphemia, the island of St. Catherine and the most beautiful sea sunset. Located directly on the coast, near the marina and the promenade, it connects the inner city area with the tourist attractions of the Monte Mulini zone.
This is an interior remodeling project. The original building was designed by Liang Jingyu, an architect of renown in 1990s, which served as an adjunctive space to a well-known art institution back then. The floor plan of the architecture presents an asymmetric U-form, of which the south side of the space is long and narrow, the west side wider, and the south facade with French windows of a strong sense of sequence. The west side of the space is relatively upright and foursquare, to which, after repeated rentals and renovations, a second floor and an attached space had been added. The north side is shorter, a two-storeyed part serving as logistics space.
This is the moment when history becomes a legend … TAKAVA Bar 2.0 is the development of the concept of the already famous TAKAVA Coffee-Buffet, located in the center of Kyiv. The surprising new institution has a larger area and even a more central location (Basarabsky market).
TAKAVA 2.0 is a cafe-bar and a trendy metro lounge – two in one!
The history of the TAKAVA brand began with the owners’ desire to create a café where residents and tourists could try different coffee drinks as in the Crimean Tatarian tradition, but at the same time, they wanted the place to be modern and bright. At this point they asked help from the famous Ukrainian designers, the Brothers Yudin. The garments of the YUDIN Design studio quickly found a name – TAKAVA 2.0. From here, they developed different types of logos in which the letter A is reproduced as a traditional pot for preparing coffee. The cezve, the traditional Turkish coffee maker, also formed the basis of other designers’ decisions regarding the interiors: rough and “toasted” textures, caramel nuances and notes of bitter but velvety coffee. A designer lamp in copper and glass is a direct reference to the shape of the cezve.
Istanbul has been bursting with specialty coffee shops, and one of the brands leading this charge is Petra Roasting Co. Becoming very popular shortly after opening up their first location, Petra Team partnered with Geo_ID for a striking space in the vibrant business district in Maslak which would represent flourishing identity of Petra Roasting Co. and a new generation of coffee in Istanbul.
