	lient: Tsunami Restaurant, W1 Place: Charlotte Street, London Completion: September 09 Synopsis: New contemporary Japanese restaurant by renowned chef Ken Sam. Sister of the Tsunami in Clapham. The design takes inspiration from traditional Japanese painting and contemporary styling. The concept was to fuse these elements to compliment the nature of the delicate and delicious food. A flurry of gold leafed trees and birds decorate the polished plaster walls. Curved walls meet ceilings without hard edges. An entrance arch takes form from a breaking wave. All designed to create a powerful yet welcoming space. The re-modeling of the Georgian building helped maximise the space for the client. 'Lab' created the Interior and decoration and revised the corporate image.



	Client: Friends of Mine-bar & kitchen Place: Beckenham Kent Completion: June 07 Synopsis: We positioned ‘Friends’ as a smart bar in the heart of a village suburb of London attracting a young and fashionable crowd. The concept was to create a contemporary styled bar with a stunning unique decorative design. The lighter front bar works well for daytime trade serving coffee and an all day menu. In the evening the front becomes a showcase for the ‘wanna be seen’ south London crowd. While the darker back room, works perfectly at night as a smart lounge bar. 'Lab' designed the Interior, and designed the 'Friends' brand including website. The name and Identity created by ‘Lab’ to create a strong corporate ID. Which included the bold decoration throughout. www.friendsofmine.co.uk

Whether it is matching the colour on a corporate function, or creating the right mood for a wedding party The name was changed and the Identity worked through by ‘Lab’ to create a strong corporate ID. Replacing the existing Italian restaurant design and radically re-modeling the space helped the function of the space. A powerful environment for the sound to light scheme was created. 'Lab' designed the basement venue, Lab helped create the name change and designed the 'Riva' brand mark.



	Client: World Duty Free Place: Gatwick South Airside Completion: November 01 Synopsis: We created a new 6,500sq ft. shop at the centrepiece of the new extension in Gatwick airport. Much of the design revolved around the illuminated curved trees rising to triple height within the space. Bespoke finishes were combined with unique forms and a colour changing light show to create a new retail experience. Our role included the initial sketch design through to the on-site management within the airside space.



	Client: Mhs Express Place: Chatham Kent Completion: June 06 Synopsis: Mhs homes are a housing association building thousands of houses per year in Medway. They wanted to have a presence in Chatham town centre to communicate their services. We created an exciting one stop shop for customers wishing to pay their rent or discuss housing. Primarily we wanted to distance them from council services, who they are often confused with. The concept was to be as exciting and contemporary with the design creating a dynamic colourful environment that the local community would take notice of. We designed the interior and project managed the build until completion. We also created the 'express' brand image throughout right through to their advertising.



	Client: Salisbury’s Fish & Chip shop Place: Lavender hill London Completion: August 06 Synopsis: We created a bold design for an independent fish & chip shop in london. Fusing traditional materials and styles with bold contemporary wall images. Detail was considered from the use of Green slate for the tables through to the bordered walls that used mirror, teak and photographic frames to create the elevation. The exterior design was re-modelled with a strong and eyecatching design. The client benefitted from the powerful design statement created.
