penny was needed to open the door of most public toilets, this unusual treatment was also very cost-effective at just under a meagre £30 per sq metre!

‘Greenleaf offers a modern, fresh take on Chinese cuisine’
Downstairs in Greenleaf’s karaoke space, high-
gloss lacquers and deep jewel-tones shapes its ‘yin’ energies – traditionally associated with the colour black. At the intimate and dramatically styled reception area, LED and MR16 spotlights have been inset into the soffits and toe kicks of the walls, and the black granite-topped bar emanates an ethereal glow, which makes the gleaming surfaces appear to float. Deep-buttoned banquettes covered with iridescent upholstery wrap around each of the two karaoke rooms and are backlit to create a theatrical effect. Vividly striped padded velvet walls contribute drama and aid the acoustics for the state-of-the-art karaoke system featuring 42” monitors. “It‘s been really good in the first few weeks
since Greenleaf opened and I do think that the design has had an important part to play in this. For a start, the total area is quite small and we were needing to do a lot in it, so space planning and the creative mix of materials produced an illusion of space were key. Almost everything is custom-designed and crafted and I am proud that, as a result, 7Gods was able to achieve a complete solution for the client in a cost-effective manner. Design details, such as the recycled-felt wall-

covering, the penny coin wall finish and bespoke handcrafted lamps, are absolutely at one with our commitment to environmentally responsible design, pragmatic choice of materials and true originality. Being involved in the entire process from A to Z and bringing a new concept to London has been an exciting and interesting experience, providing us with the opportunity to try out new ideas,” says Ronald Gomes.
