GRAIN STORE
Company: Bose Location: London, UK
Grain Store is a new restaurant by Chef Bruno Loubet and The Zetter Group’s Michael Benyan and Mark Sainsbury, located on Granary Square at the heart of London’s Kings Cross. Following on from the extraordinary success of The Zetter Townhouse, they have once again joined forces with pioneering drinks creator Tony Conigliaro. The interiors, created by Russell Sage, are designed around the concept of the exploded kitchen - a flexible space that blurs the lines between kitchen and restau- rant - with elements of the cooking process spilling over to the table. The 80-seat terrace on Granary Square is a magnet for alfresco drinking and dining. With many exposed surfaces within this listed building, the brief for the audio was simple, yet complex to achieve. The requirement was for high quality even sound coverage for background music during the daytime and in the restaurant in the evening, but a more full-on sound for the bar areas which are destinations in their
own right for customers who want a more lively club-like atmosphere. With its listed building status, nothing could be wall mounted, and the ceiling is covered in metal framing and ductwork, so the speaker mountings were custom-made to blend into the industrial style design. Bose Pro Partner, Progressive AV, which also installed a Bose solution at London’s The Zetter Townhouse, had bespoke steel-wire assemblies made to the exact length required, and additional speaker mounts were adapted from wall mounting solutions to provide a stylish wire assembly that also suited the design of the bar. The Bose solution included pendant mounted FreeSpace DS40F speakers and FreeSpace 3 system for the main restaurant, and a Panaray system including 502A, 502B, 402 and MB4 bass for the bar areas. According to Liam McLaughlin of Progressive AV, the result is perfectly balanced sound throughout the restaurant and bar areas. “Diners can now enjoy good quality unobtrusive background music, and when the system is set to provide a higher output in the evenings, the bar areas offer an exciting, punchy sound with clear dynamics for a livelier atmosphere. The Bose sound complements the high quality of the food and drink available at the Grain Store.”
