Keeping the convenience food operation fresh and fun


A


S PART OF its catering offer, the University of Bradford has introduced a Wrapchic outlet, a


new trend in fast food that offers customer-created Indian burritos for students-on-the-go. Restaurant Design Associates (RDA)


designed, built and installed the outlet as a bespoke, quick-serve experience for students. Featuring eye-catching branding, the highlights of the new store are its kitchen gadgetry and front-of- house display of centrally-prepared and ready-to-be-assembled authentic Indian meats, salads and sauces. Nick Bradley, director at RDA, said:


“The colour palette is bright and vibrant, inspired by spices such as paprika and turmeric. This is conveyed mostly through the signage and menu package. However, the counters and wall finishes provide a fairly neutral backdrop to allow the branding, and of course the food itself, to take centre stage.” Keeping abreast of the latest eating


trends and foreseeing the site’s unique needs are essential in order to deliver


designs that work in harmony with each client’s service style – and at the same time creating environments that customers will appreciate – says Nick Bradley. Additionally, space and efficiency also


need to be maximised when setting out plans. RDA’s design approach includes kitchen planning, measured site surveys and food concept support to conceptual sketching, photorealistic visuals and 3D ‘walk-through’ animations.

On-trend floorcovering for fashion college A


S A constituent college of the University of the Arts London, London College of Fashion is a


global leader in its sector, and has educated a number of notable designers in the fashion industry. For the recent refurbishment of its High


Holborn building, luxury vinyl flooring was specified as a stylish surface for the students and staff who utilise the campus daily. The on-trend Scarlet Oak flooring from


Moduleo was used for the Student’s Union café and bar, to deliver advanced strength, a slip-resistant rating of R10, and realistic wood-effect appearance which complements the overall décor. Colin Stroud, director at Interior


Precision which completed the refurbishment, said: “With the flooring being laid in one of the best fashion schools in the world, style was obviously

key, along with durability and scuff and stain-resistance, as a result of the area experiencing such high levels of footfall.” Moduleo’s Impress collection features


registered emboss and provides realistic and nature-inspired design. Luxury vinyl brings the added benefits of increased


durability, good heat and sound- insulation, and an easy-to-clean finish. Impress features five wood designs with 22 colour options.
